Dragon Bento and Bear Bento in Planetbox (2)

These two bentos were made a few months ago. The stamped bear bento was enjoyed by Nikolai when he had half day at school and the dragon bento was made by my hubby. I remember Nikolai, when planning a visit to a friend's house, asked for a dragon bento and dad obliged. My hubby told me that he was unable to find a dragon cookie cutter so he used a dinosaur cookie cutter for the dragon and added fruit leather wings. I have to give him credit for his creativity.:)

Here is the dragon bento made by my hubby.

In this bento lunch:

• Dragon sandwich with a candy eye, free hand cut fruit leather wings and fire.
• Organic baby carrots.
• Seedless black grapes in a silicone cup with a flower pick.
