Bunny Food

For the last day of school before Spring Break I packed Bella a special Eastery lunch in her Laptop Lunches bento box:



She had turkey & cheddar flatbread roll-ups, an Easter egg filled with spiced almonds, a ginger carrot bran muffin, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, radish rabbits, & cantaloupe with candy picks. 


Bella loved this lunch so much she asked to have her picture taken with it! I included a Lunchbox Love note with a fun fact about eggs on it. The flip side of that card says "Share", which is perfect, because she took a jar filled with a bouquet of eraser-topped pencils to share with her classmates :)



Pickle got bunny & baby bunny peanut butter sandwiches. I'm not very good at making faces on food, so I made the other end instead:


To make the bunny bum, I used my CuteZcute animal face cutter, but turned upside down, over a bunny head cutter, with a scalloped circle for the tail. I made the body with an extra layer of bread for a 3-D effect. I made the baby bunny with a bunny head cookie cutter and a little circle.


When I tried to put the lid on Pickle's sandwich box, I found that it had warped in the dishwasher and wouldn't go on easily. It's fixable - I can put it through the next cycle and work the lid back on while it's still warm and let it cool with it on, that usually works - but I couldn't send it to school with him in the meantime, so I popped it in the Bynto instead.


He also had yogurt decorated with bunny & chick shaped sugar sprinkles. I love that there was a Lunchbox Love note with s fun fact abour Hershey's, that's his favourite. For snack I added a muffin decorated with cupcake picks:

A Sweet Lunch for my Sweet Girl

I had a feeling it wouldn't be easy to jump back into the school routine after Spring Break so I didn't plan on anything cute for lunch, but Bella asked if she could have an Easter theme with some of her candy in it. She rarely asks for anything in particular and she's a good eater in general so I scrambled up a cute lunch to go with the candy she chose:

Easter Peeps bento school lunch

She chose an orange Peeps marshmallow chick and 2 chocolate eggs, so I packed her a cheddar "Peep" on ham bagelwich, egg-shaped grapes, tomatoes, and carrots (diagonally sliced in ovals). I recently bought some scrapbook paper and she chose a candy coloured one for her lunch's photo :)


Lunch Punch Puzzle sandwich

Pickle has a puzzle peanut butter sandwich made with one of our Match & Munch Lunch Punches   ♥  and some yogurt & juice (not shown).

Beanstalk packed himself a Clif  Z Bar, an apple, ham, & water. He also left earlier than us to walk with friends. He's getting so independent, doing his own thing... Middle school next year, eek!
