Star Wars Bento; sort of Halloween themed (orange Darth Vader) and girly themed (pretty pomegranate flower!) He’s kind of a nod to my kindergartener’s pink-tutu-princess-Darth-Vader costume this Halloween. Helmet is sandwich with orange soy sheet on top drawn on with food markers; eyes are nori; marshmallow stormtrooper with food marker face and blueberry “space” background with star sprinkles.

Halloween Ghosts! PB&J and a few halloween treats: candy corn, yogurt covered raisins, grapes and marshmallow ghosts.
Zombie Cupcake 🙂 A special extra from the graveyard batch that had arms coming out of the cupcake (dripping in red gel blood) and holding a fondant brain! The little flower is fondant too.
Pumpkin Patch Bento
Pumpkin Patch bento 🙂 “Pumpkin” sandwiches are sandwich cupcakes made with bread and PB&J and drawn on with orange food marker; the stems are pretzels and the curlicues are laffy taffy. In addition to the pumpkins, she also had some pirate booty, raisins, a banana and a yogurt in her lunch.
Vampire Bats! Sandwich bat is PB&J with candy eyes and a fruit leather mouth with marshmallow teeth; grape bat is red grape with red grape wings (cut into wing shapes) and tooth picked on; behind the red grape is a green grape background; the stars are marshmallows.
First Halloween Bento of the season 🙂 PB&J pumpkin sandwich (with Laffy Taffy leaf), PB&J mini ghost sandwiches on blueberries; a mandarin orange; raisins with spooky m&m eyes.
A babywearing bento for the end of International Babywearing Week 🙂
PB&J sandwich (she hasn’t had one in 4 days!) with cheese slice hair and a fruit leather baby wrap; the eyes are just black (Halloween) circle sprinkles. Also, grape hearts!
A simple moon bento 🙂 PB& Jam (as usual) with an M&M eye; blueberries and star-shaped marshmallows as sides.
I’d like to note that these bento lunches are not all my 5 year old has in her lunchbox, they are merely the decorative part of the lunch. It varies by day, but today she also had an applesauce pouch, yogurt, a banana and goldfish crackers. She’s a growing girl!
Save the Muppets Bento 🙂 Chef (face and hand) is PB& Jam (was supposed to be turkey sandwich but there is no turkey to be found in my fridge), with a mozzarella cheese hat, and a spice drop nose. The contrasting mustache and eyebrows are bread crust and his sleeve is a marshmallow. The chicks are hard-boiled eggs with carrot beaks and black sprinkles for eyes.
Yes, I realize that the Swedish Chef is not a Sesame Street character, and to my knowledge, has not appeared on PBS. But all the Muppets support each other and so here’s my tribute! Also, I had a chicken/chick theme planned for today so I wanted to adjust my theme to my political (?) message.
