Packing a Fun Lunch

Kids go mad about fun lunches! Its a fun, yet simple way to introduce new foods and add some entertainment to the food they're eating.

Just packing it in a small cute container does the trick!



Emma's Lunch Bento Lunch


What are the main ingredients of a cute lunch?
Fun shapes - check
Mini containers - check
Cute food picks- check

In this lunch from left to right:
  • Bourgouri (bulgar wheat) shaped like a teddy bear
  • Yoghurt in a small silicone container
  • Cucumber sticks
  • Three mini chicken kebabs (alternating cubes)
  • And white seedless grapes
To shape the bourgouri I used an onigiri shaper.  These are usually used in Japanese cuisine to shape rice.  They come in many shapes and sizes even though Onigiri actually means "rice ball".  These are especially used for on the go lunches or as they're also known in Japan bento boxes.

Don't have an onigiri shaper? Use a silicone mold, tightly pack the bourgouri and then gently turn it out into the lunchbox.

Enjoy your kids' meals!
