Greetings all! We are back from Russia with three beautiful children!!! They are wonderful, bright kids who will certainly keep me on my toes. I wanted to do a bento this morning for their snack - just to see what they thought of it. Here are the results.
There are carrot slices, apple slices, honey dew melon bits, French toast fingers, and vanilla yogurt. My mom's reaction was that this sounded like too much food for a snack but the cup in the middle of the bento is a mini muffin cup with just a few bites of yogurt in it. Everything else is likewise small. My idea was to provide some variety so that if they didn't like something, they had lots of options. The only thing left in a bento were a few bits of carrot that didn't get eaten.
How did the kids like it? Well, here they are eating it. Our little girl was finished so quickly that I couldn't get a picture!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you and your family! Your children are adorable!
So darn cute!!! I think a snack bento is a wonderful idea, and the kids really are beautiful.
I just want to thank you for this inspiring blog! I just ordered a Mr. Bento lunch kit for my husband and a few other bento items thanks in large part to the inspiration and information you've shared on this blog; I had never heard of bento before I found this blog! Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea to help bring more nurture and love to mealtimes!
:) Thank you so much Nikki!!! You are so very sweet!!!
I'm trying to stay on top of the blog but it's hard with the little ones. I think it will be better when they get a little more settled.
DH and DD are still getting bentos - I'll post one soon.
Nikki,
I do hope you will share your own bentos here. If you'd like to email them to me, I'll post them up to encourage others.
