Octopus bento, #585

Hi there, I hope y'all are having a great summer! It's been around a month since school has been out and we have made several trips to the themed parks, space center, beaches, museums etc. There are more planned trips, but at this moment Nikolai's room is being remodeled to a big boy's room. I can't believe my boy is growing up so quickly.

I made this octopus themed bento for our trip to the beach the other day. I used string cheese for the octopus since we were out of hotdogs for the octodogs which Nikolai initially suggested. This lunch is packed in an Easylunchboxes container.

In this bento lunch:
  • Octopus shaped sandwich with icing eyes and cheddar mouth.
  • Octocheese, I free hand-cut a string cheese in half and the tentacles, used a toothpick to make the face impressions. Goldfish crackers in a silicone cup.
  • Cucumber pieces.
  • Another octocheese above apple slices.

Sun, Couscous and Nuggets Bento

Since we had to postpone out trip due to the rainy weather, I have some time to blog. It has been raining every day and Nikolai wanted to go to the beach with his new floats and toys so we went ahead yesterday; but after only an hour we had to leave as it again started to rain. I asked him to play in the pool instead but he said that the toys are more fun to play with ocean waves. I am hoping that the rainy weather will end soon so we can carry on with our planned trips.

I have a backlog of lunches which Nilolai had enjoyed and I think this one is quite appropriate for my post today since we really need the Sun!:)

**If you like what I am doing here, I would also love for you to follow my Facebook page. I'll be posting more often on fb than my blog during summer with some fun foods which I occasionally find on the web.


In this bento lunch:
  • Main compartment - Parmesan Couscous. I used a circle cutter for the mild cheddar cheese Sun and a star cutter (using the points) for the Sun's rays. A rainbow baran, asiago cheese clouds and a house pick complete the scene.
  • Lower left - Edamame in a round silicone cup and goldfish crackers.
  • Upper left -Chicken nuggets with a couple of picks.
  • Center - Yogurt covered star.
  • Upper right - Orange slices and seedless red grapes.
  • This lunch is packed in a Planetbox rover.
Here are the supplies or similar that I used to create and pack this lunch.
