Buggy Bentos for my Bookworms

Bella & Sprout love to read, so this lunch is more of a celebration of that than an encouragement. Bit of sproutlet trivia: Sprout learned to read when she was four, but not at preschool, and no thanks to me... it was Pickle who taught her, and it was a surprise to us!

Bee a Reader yubo bento school lunch
Sprout's yubo lunchbox contains:
  • sharp white & orange cheddar cheeses
  • little flower sandwiches
  • Granny Smith apple wedges
  • raspberries
  • berry yogurt with sprinkles  

Bella also has  bees & bugs in her lunchbox :)

Bella's EasyLunchboxes bento contains:
  • sharp white & orange cheddar cheese roll-ups
  • Galia melon flowers
  • cherry tomatoes
  • cucumber slices
  • & a few marshmallow treats

While I was packing for the girls I went ahead and packed a lunch for myself as well. I don't usually bother with decorations for my lunches, but I had the picks out, so, just for fun:

Blossoms & Berries LunchBot Duo Bento for Mum
My brand new orange LunchBots Duo contains:
  • a clementine mandarin orange
  • a hard cooked egg (blossom shape made by using large egg instead of jumbo in star shape egg mold)
  • some cracked black pepper Triscuit
  • cheese scarps from the girls' lunches
  • raspberries & blueberries

Thanks to Beth of A Boy & His Lunch for the "Buggy for Books" & "Bee a Reader" cupcake picks, they were a nice surprise in the mail :) And I just happen to be linking this post to her "Grown-ups Gotta Eat" Linky :

    1. It's a hybrid melon of some kind - looks a bit like cantaloupe on the outside, but lighter in colour. It's very sweet. Thanks!
