Lunchbox look - May 19 - 23, 2014

School's out for the summer! Here are the lunches for the last week of school. Our bento boxes will still get a workout over the summer as I pack meals for frequent pool trips, but they'll be a lot more utilitarian.



Martha Speaks! My daughter loves this show. I traced a coloring page to get Martha's shape, then added sprinkles, nori and fruit leather details. There's also snap pea crisps, celery, cantaloupe and grapes.




Peep in the Big Wide World! Another favorite show easily replicated in cheese. There's a triple-decker PBJ plus raspberries, celery, cucumber and a chocolate coin in the top tier, and lots of cantaloupe down below.




Goodbye first grade! I packed this meal in a recycled kiwi container. Unfortunately, it was placed on the classroom floor before all the children went outside for a field day. When they returned for lunch, it had been infested with ants, so my daughter bought school lunch. All the same, this is a great way to pack a disposable lunch - the food isn't squished and you don't need to use a bunch of Ziplocs. I lined the kiwi box with deli paper to keep in some moisture, but this may not be necessary in more humid areas.

Thanks for stopping by!
