Sesame Street Lunchable

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street. In 2020, Sesame Street celebrated its 51st anniversary. Yup, that means 51 years of singing, dancing, rhyming, and learning ABCs and 123s with Big Bird and the gang. It's one of the few programs I can tell my grandchildren that I watched this as a little girl too. Over the years Sesame Street evolved with technology and community issues. Today I wanted this lunch to include all of our favorite Sesame Street characters.

Ingredients:

crackers, salami, white cheese , cheddar cheese, yogurt, blue food coloring, edible google eyes, one cookie, nori, broccoli, smiley face potato fries, and mandarin orange.

Directions:

1. cook smiley face potato fries as directed and add to bento box.

2. print a clipart of the character Ernie faces. Cut is out and stick to orange using glue stick ONLY. This wont run or leek into the orange and will be removed with peel before eating.

3. Stir two drops of blue food coloring to yogurt. add edible eyes. Pro Tip: add eyes on the day child will eat lunch, not the day before. Afterward crumble cookie and place across yogurt creating a smile.

Mermaid Lunch

Online schooling has presented challenges that our family had to make adjustment to accommodate the needs of our kids. Sometime kids can be overlooked when it comes to how Covid and quarantine has place stress on them. I like to infuse each day with special moments. This is the beauty of making bento lunch. They give parent a chance to make their child smile. I like to incorporate the kids interest in my lunches. In my lunches I like to include cliparts for two reasons. The first reason is it would be time consuming to try and create these details with food. The second is I look at this like creating art using to mediums. Adding clip art details add a host of possibility when making creative lunches. This lunch was totally dedicated to my granddaughter. She is all about unicorns, princess and mermaids. She loves ramen noodles, so while noodles cooked I added a drop of blue food coloring to the water. It created a much darker color than I originally expected. The noodles gave the p...

Hello Kitty Lunch

Over the weekend my granddaughter was so hurt that her aunt bought a Hello Kitty pencil for herself and unicorn pencil for her. She pouted, “ but I Love Hello Kitty too.” We had to talk to her about what it means to have gratitude. These are hard, but needed lessons. Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus ‘pleasing, thankful’, is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, towards the giver of such gifts. I love my grandchildren and want to give them everything, but without nurturing gratitude they will end up spoiled and ungrateful. As a parent (and grandparent) teaching our children to be have gratitude is actually molding them into kind human beings. I ncluded in lunch: 🥪 kitten - raspberry jam sandwich 🥮 heart shape pound cake 🥣 strawberry yogurt 🥒 cut cucumbers 🧆 Snack: yogurt cover raisins S trawberries Direct...

Halloween "Not" so scary Bento Box

Kids look forward to Halloween every year. It’s exciting as a family to decorate, pick costumes, and prepare for Trick or treating. Well, this year due to quarantine the way Halloween is celebrated has changed. Many schools are not permitting parties and few kids are going Trick or Treating. I love Halloween and through the power of bentos was determined to create a lunch that would bring the Halloween spirit. This week bento was inspired by Robot Squirrel and The Monkey . I love this bento because of its cute and not so scary witch just conjures up the nostalia of Halloween. I wanted to copy this witch theme bento by recreate the witch using a grape jelly Uncrustable. In the original, the witch eyes were made from jelly candy and she has carrot hair. I will do the same thing with slight changes. I used a paint brush to add a mouth. For the witch hat, I printed a hat clipart found online and used it as a templet to cutout hat on black cardstock. The belt on hat was traced using white...
