Well, it is official. Natalie is a kindergartener. I really still can not believe it.
With the start of school, also starts school lunches. I am not totally against school lunches but I don’t think they are always the best choice either. I want Natalie to be able to choose if she wants to buy or pack.
A few weeks ago, I read an article on Bentos for kids lunches. This was the first time that I ever heard about them. Ever since, I have been searching the Internet in my spare moments for ideas and tools to make the perfect Bentos for Natalie. I found a few things on Amazon and was able to use some of my baking things to start off. I am sure I will be buying more but I am set for right now.
Natalie wanted to pack for the first two days of school. So here is what I made for her. I didn’t have a true bento box but I did have a sandwich box and that work just as well.
First Day of School Bento
Ham and cheese roll ups, blueberries and blackberries in a foil cupcake liner, carrots and broccoli (I did have ranch dip in a separate container), fresh corn off the cob in a foil cupcake liner and chocolate chips in a mini paper cupcake liner.
Bento #2
Ham and cheese sandwich cut with heart cookie cutter, blackberries in foil cupcake liner, mini marshmallows, chocolate teddy grahams, fresh corn off the cob in paper cupcake liner, Hershey kisses and gogurt.
