My friend Bridget sent me this photo of the lunch she made for her daughter’s first day of kindergarten. So, super, cute. And, what I love is that it’s made by a real mom. Someone I know actually made this!
Adorable!
Here’s the story behind the lunch: “the theme was pink, red’s, purple’s and all about LOVE for the first day of school! The pb&j was heart-shaped and on top were flowers with jeweled picks. Rice cakes, grapes, blueberries, carrots and a chocolate kiss from mommy! Of course that received RAVED reviews when I picked her up today!”
About the supplies:
- The little Hello Kitty is a bento sauce cup.
- The pink container is a Sassy box, found at Target in the baby section. They come in pink or blue and have 3 smaller containers with lids inside.
- Silicone baking cups can be used as food separators.
- The ”jeweled picks” you can find online (search bento picks or bento toothpicks) through a variety of Web sites, including online auctions. Bridget got hers at a local Asian grocery store. Just asked for bento picks/toothpicks.
- Sauce cups are from ebay.
She sent me a link to one of the places where she gets her inspiration, Anotherlunch.com. I went there today for a minute, scrolled through a few photos and could hardly stand it. Really. I had to click away or I’d have been there all day. Total cuteness over there.
