Marvelous Things Will Happen!

It's Roald Dahl's birthday! We're big fans of the author's splendiferous works at our house. Sprout even wants to be Matilda for Hallowe'en this year :) But since I made Matilda book sandwiches last Roald Dahl Day, I decided to base this year's Dahl-icious lunches on other favourites...

In Sprout's James and the Giant Peach lunch:
  • a little peach cup of sliced cheddar, secured by Miss Spider
  • an EasyLunchboxes Mini Dipper* filled with magical glowing green "Crocodile Tongues" (chopped up gummi fruit snacks)
  • an Odwalla Kids bar (no significance other than she wanted one)
  • a stack of baby carrots held together by Mrs. Ladybug
  • a giant peach cup of strawberries & raspberries with the Earthworm being "buggy for books"
  • a blank Lunchbox Love note on which I've written a reminder: Marvelous Things Will Happen
*You can use dry erase markers to label or decorate both the EasyLunchboxes containers & the Mini Dippers!

       

Does this lunch look right to you? Or left?


In Bella's lunch, inspired by The BFG:
       

Have you made any scrumdiddlyumptious lunches or treats, today or any other day, that were inspired by Roald Dahl's books?

  1. Love your lunches! I wonder what crocodile tongues taste like ;) And now I can add The BFG to my must-read list - I still haven't read so many of Roald Dahl's books. Happy Roald Dahl Day!

    I'm super new to bento making, but just wanted to let you know I love your blog and find your ideas so inspiring! Plus, I've been eying that fruit/veggie silicone set on allthingsforsale, and you've convinced me to put it in my cart already. I also listed you on my blog as a go-to source of bento inspiration: http://howaboutcookie.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/bento-school-lunches/
