As I mentioned in my last blog post, Small Child celebrated his birthday over the Easter weekend, so I thought it would be fun to make him a quick birthday themed bento lunch for the last day of term before the Easter holidays. Time was short and energy was low, so I kept it very simple, but Small Child was delighted because I packed it in his new gelato blue Yumbox UK bento box.
In this lunch Small Child had a cheese and ham sandwich, shaped into a birthday cake with one of our new Lunchpunch cutters and lightly decorated with a red edible marker pen. On the side he had raw red pepper strips and carrot stars, decorated with star bento picks, mandarin segments, a couple of black grapes, which I turned into balloons with the aid of some clever ballon string bento picks, and some raisins, decorated with a party hat bento picks and some fun eye bento picks. I also hid a few pieces of chocolate under the raisins for a special birthday treat.
I had intended to wrap up his lunch box in wrapping paper before popping it in his lunch bag, but sadly we were running late so I ran out of time... maybe next year!
Small Child enjoyed his birthday lunch and had wonderful birthday too, all rolled up into our Easter celebrations this weekend.
