June is just around the corner and it is the giveaway time from KidsDreamWork! 
The month of June is a very special month for me and my bento-ing journey. FYI, my first bento class for children will be held on 6th June (anyone else interested to let your kids put their hands on bento-ing?). And on the 11th June is the airtime of my first TV show for children’s creative sandwich bento. It will be on air in Astro XTY (小太阳) channel 阳光列车之fun转艺术.
Therefore, in order to celebrate these two special moments, I decided to organize this giveaway contest to share the happiness with everyone and with the hope that there will be more and more people joining the bento-ing club for happier and healthier meal time.
These are the two sets of prizes that I’m going to giveaway. Each has the following items:
1. A set of 4 bento boxes (sizes ranging from 500ml to 120ml)
2. 2 Wilton brand teddy bear silicone baking cups
3. A set of 10 cute animal food picks
4. 3 animals cookies cutters
5. A set of 4 carrot shape sauce containers
- Set #1
- Set #2
So these are the contest details…
If you follow my blog, you should know that ‘happy’ is one of the things that my elder boy always looking for in his bento! As for me, I always hope that my boys are always happy & healthy (these are the wishes of every parents of course) and I always try my best to make something yummy yet healthy for my boys.
Therefore, I have decided the theme for the contest is ‘Happy & Healthy’! The contest material has to be something to do with kids (since this main idea of this blog is everything about kids) and meeting the definition of ‘Happy & Healthy’! This contest is open to everyone, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to make bento! LOL
For example, it can either be a happy & healthy bento for children, the happiest moment you have with your kids (or can be nieces or nephews or friend’s kids, why not?), healthy activities that you carried out with the children etc. There should be a lot more so use your creativity and imaginations yeah.
The simple rules for the contest:
1. The contest starts now and will end on 6th June, Sunday midnight Malaysia time (GMT+8), and the winners will be announced on 11th June (since these are the 2 important dates, one for the class and one for the TV show).
2. Anything to do with children that fit the theme ‘Happy & Healthy’.
3. All entry must have a photo with descriptions to explain why it fits the theme ‘Happy & Healthy’.
4. If you have a blog, you can just put the link of your entry in the comment of this post. Else, you can email me (kidsdreamwork@yahoo.com) your entry (a photo with descriptions) and I’ll post on behalf in this blog.
5. I will decide if an entry is proper and fits the theme before it can be counted as a valid entry.
6. You can submit as many entries as you like, no limitations.
7. The two winners will be randomly drawn. Therefore, don’t be shy to enter the contest!
8. All works must be original i.e. not somebody else work.
9. The entry must not be used to participate in other contests or commercial activities prior 11th June 2010. (This sounds so formal, haha…)
10. The copyright of the submitted contest material belongs to YOU.
Now, let the fun begins!

By the way, I’m still looking for your books in local bookstore, and if I still cannot find it (and if I have no luck to win in the those giveaway by our bento blogger friends), I’ll have to go to eBay then. Love them!

Hi,
First of all, congratulations for your TV show!
Too bad, I’ll be leaving to Hong Kong on the 6th. I’ll try to set timer and record the show.
Here’s my entry for the contest. http://shanieteoh.com/bento/doraemon-bento.html
It’s a lunch bento that I do for my husband today as I don’t have a kid yet. However, I think this bento can be for children too. It’s healthy and happy because of the food that’s packed and the cute onigiri can put a smile on the children’s face when they open up the bento
[Entry #13]
Shanie – Thank you for your support! Just hope I’m not doing too bad in the show, haha…Everything is so impromptu! No script or what at all! So is really like on the spot what you do or what you says. This is a bit challenging for first timer like me, haha…plus I lost my voice two days before the show, so I think I’ll sound so ‘sexy’ in the show, unless they can edit the voice too, haha…
By the way, you made a cute doraemon bento! I’m sure no kids can reject that if it is to be given to them!
I’d love to enter one of our bentos as well!
http://bentolunch.blogspot.com/2010/05/weekend-bento.html
Just a weekend lunch for my daughter. It’s healthy–multigrain bread, fresh fruits & veggies, even the cupcake is homemade with sweet potatoes (working on an idea of healthier treats for kids). And I think it’s happy.
) The giraffes & smiling eggs make me happy, and my daughter thinks they are cute.
[Entry #15]
Shannon – Thank you for your submission! I love the happy & healthy bento you made! The smilling faces there surely brightened up the day of your kids!

http://bentolunch.blogspot.com/2010/06/tuesday-bento-new-box.html
He heard me tell his sister that I entered her bento and said “Mommy, my lunches are healthy too!”
Here is one from the other day, packed in his new box with aliens on it (which made him very very happy!). Inside is a homemade muffin with chicken & veggies inside, a homemade zucchini-raisin cookie (so good!), a bit of cheese, strawberries, blackberries, carrots & celery.
[Entry #27]
Shannon – Your boy is so cute, haha…By the way, the aliens bento box is so nice! How come local Borders over here doesn’t has that!
Happy smiling animals faces + noodles with vegetables…
