Chicken and Jack o'Tangerine Bento and Hello Kitty Egg Preschool Bento

For MisterMan: Chicken drummettes, steamed broccoli, corn on the cob and carrot sticks for lunch today. Fruits were strawberries, grapes and a glowing jack-o-tangerine.
For TinySprite: Boiled egg decorated as Hello Kitty with radish ears and rice stick whiskers, nori eyes and corn nose. Corn on the cob, steamed broccoli, carrot sticks and gold cherry tomato. Strawberry and grapes.
Seems like hers is a miniature version of his, doesn't it? I think I got this double bento thing down! This bento seems very small for her lunch, but she hasn't been hungry lately. Maybe she's too excited. I picked her up during lunchtime and she hadn't finished the corn so she ate that when we got home. She is quite busy with the talking and gesturing during lunch, I noticed. It's a wonder she has any time to get any eating done at all. Sigh.

  3. How exciting and bittersweet to have both kids in school now. Similar bentos is the only way to go, I found that out while trying to make bentos for a movie night at the park this summer. Three nearly identical bentos, and I was still exhausted. :)

  12. Hi Lia!
    I really kind of wonder if I could put HK in his box. He hasn't really said he wouldn't like it but wonder if he would be embarrassed (age 7). No girly stuff for your boy eh? :D
    Thanks tatabonita, Chantale, KidsDreamWork,bentobird and Mommyof2girlz!
    Thanks a lot for the link and mention, asianscook4you!

  15. I can't believe I missed your Hello Kitty Bento for TS! This is way too cute. :) I'm so impressed you're at the point where you're making two different bentos for your kids. I draw the line at packing multiple bentos with the same ingredients/presentation.

  16. Haha!
    Thanks hypothermya. Yes, I'm up to two bento a day, but only 3 days a week. So, starting slow. It's not too bad so far. My girl's appetite seems quite a bit smaller than his, so it's almost just a mini version of what I think will be most likely eaten.
