A Hello Kitty snack for the last day of camp.

Hello Kitty shaped boiled egg (in a HK cupcake wrapper)

cantaloupe, grapes & chocolate chips in the HK container

The egg looks more like HK in real life. The photos do not do it justice.

Amy is at camp and the other little girls would like to go to the Bermuda Aquarium Museum & Zoo today so 3 mid-morning snacks.

For camp:

Fish shaped boiled egg, dried apricots,

grapes & strawberries

strawberries, granola bar, grapes

goldfish, grapes & strawberries

Heidi's is the last one. Since she's only 2, I don't usually put any picks in hers unless we are going to be all sitting and eating at the table together. For outings and such I try to leave them out since it's more of an on the go eating adventure and I just feel it's safer. In September when she starts nursery I will probably only use the small forks & spoons in her lunch.



Two more puzzle bentos :) They are very similar with slight changes for individual tastes - plus it's grocery day so I'm trying to use up the odds and ends.

Rose's lunch

clementines & strawberries, grapes,

 carrot sticks, grape tomatoes, ranch dip

puzzle sandwich stacked- peanut butter

Amy's lunch

puzzle sandwich stacked - peanut butter

carrot sticks & celery sticks with PB dip

diced peaches, strawberries

I switched to a bread with 100% whole grain - the picky one is already complaining.

I'm going to keep trying though.

The girls are loving our new Puzzle Pieces Lunch Punches - I bought mine locally but you can also find them online.  Here is it again today in a little bento for Heidi.

Snack for camp:

Puzzle pieces ham sandwich, goldfish, craisins in the HK cup

mandarin oranges, grapes, apple, strawberry

It was a bit of a rush this morning and I barely had time to snap a pic & pack it up!

Muffin tins for breakfast - I made 3 exactly the same :)

There are still 2 weeks until school starts. Today is the first day of Princess camp at the ballet school. It's a half day camp so only a snack.

Stars for Heidi - just because :)

boiled egg, triscuit crackers, grapes on star picks, honeydew,

cucumber stars, carrot sticks, celery sticks, grapes tomatoes

Stretch Island Fruit Co cherry fruit leather star cutout

Peanut butter star sandwich with a cheddar topper

We are eating at home today and when she saw that Rose had 2 dips (one being yogurt) she wanted some dip too. So I gave her some ranch dip and she then proceeded to dip everything in it - LOL. She's still eating even though everyone else is finished!!

Hello Kitty for Amy in a Gladware lunch container.

grapes, clementines, craisins ( in the Hello Kitty cup), sesame crackers

peanut butter sandwich with Hello Kitty stencil in cinnamon

Hello Kitty boiled egg, carrot sticks, grape tomatoes, cucumbers

She loved the Hello Kitty in cinnamon but still wouldn't eat the tomatoes.

Oh well - it was still worth a re-visit!

Lunch #1

Goldfish & yogurt covered raisins, ranch dip, cucumbers, tomato, celery, carrots

strawberries, blueberries, honeydew, cherry fruit leather fish, fish sandwich ( it was ham I think)

Lunch #2

goldfish & yog covered raisins, dip, cucumbers, carrots,

berries & melon, cherry fruit leather fish,

ham cat sandwich with a very crooked mouth - lol!

Lunch #3 - Heidi's lunch

pretty much the same as the others except no dip, no celery, no picks

and a peanut butter duck sandwich

Lunch #4 - Amy's lunch choices

butterfly crackers, boiled egg, yogurt covered raisins, cucumber flowers & carrot sticks

blueberries & strawberries, honeydew melon, cherry fruit leather butterfly

cat sandwich - either PB or ham I can't remember!

Lunch #5 - Rosie's lunch

butterfly crackers, yog covered raisins, dip, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, celery

strawberries & blue berries, honeydew melon, fruit leather crown, butterfly sandwich.

I didn't over decorate her butterfly with jumbo sprinkles as I usually would as I didn't want it to seem unfair to the other children who only had a candy eye or two on their sandwich! So a very plain butterfly it was - no complaints :)

Rose didn't eat too much of her lunch as she wanted to go back to playing - the others ate lots :) I realised afterwards that I had put a little too much in Heidi's but she still ate a good portion of it.
