Amy from Mothering Corner has an eye for creating kiddie masterpieces out of food. Okay, so maybe I’ve been tempted to try out one of her bento tutorials for myself, but that’s because I see her compositions as foodie works of art! I couldn’t help but think this is a great way to get kids to eat fruits and veggies, or just their lunch in general!

If you have a kiddo who likes to swap lunches with their friends at recess, even though you insist that the lunch you make them is more nutritious, I guarantee your kiddo’s lunch will definitely be the envy of all of their friends after you’ve followed Amy’s tutorial. The great part about it? She uses simple ingredients, like bread and cold cuts! You don’t have to buy anything fancy; Amy doesn’t even use a pricey knife set, take a look at the tools she uses to craft this bento lunch!

This is the bunny cutter I used. You can easily do this with bread in different colors.

I used this cutter to form the ears by cutting an oval shape from a piece of ham.

I removed one of the ears of a bunny, that bunny is obviously for my gal. At the same time, I cut the noses from cheese.

Here are the ears for my bunnies.

But then, I suddenly remembered Mommy Moon asking me who to decorate Hello Kitty? :) Actually, it’s all about the same for any character.

If you have this multi cutters of ribbon, flower, star and etc, you can easily cut out the decorative details. I used kamaboko for the flower, but you can use anything such as wiener, carrot or ham too.

I placed the sandwiches in the lunch boxes, then added in the eyes and noses punched from nori.

So, here’s the end result:
