My boy’s school declared today as a special off day due to the Kiddie Sports Day last Saturday, but the childcare service is still open. As such I made my boy something heavier for his morning break since they would be having a longer break.
I decided to make my boy a bento with the “Bear’s School” sandwich box today. Very likely the kids would have a picnic during snack break time at the playground and I thought this sandwich box would be perfect! In fact JY has been asking for that sandwich box since I first used it.
I made two SPAM sandwiches with wholemeal bread and some fresh lettuce leaves. I cut two little bears from the extra SPAM with the yellow Teddy sandwich cutter which is beside the bento box in the photo. I decorated the bears with seaweed and cheese, and placed a hat and a ribbon on each of them.
I wrapped the sandwiches with the blue colour under water theme aluminum foil before putting them into the sandwich box. This cute aluminum foil is courtesy of a dear blogger friend whom knew that I had been searching for it high and low (thank you so much C).
Besides the SPAM sandwiches, I completed the bento with two fresh cherries and dried prunes in the cute bean shape silicon food cup. I hope JY will have a great picnic time with this bento!
Update: Submitted this for What’s For Lunch Wednesday fun!

波尼 – Yeah, if there is no class going on, usually they’ll just spend their time at the playground, library and the activity room. So it is definitely a picnic party, haha…
