Finally I had the chance to try my hands on the newly bought jigsaw puzzle Lunch Punch set today!
Since this is the first time I used it and I had no chance to try it out first the night before, I decided to play safe looking at the limited time I had in the morning to make the bento. I just use one of the four cutters from the set instead of mix and match them.
I bought two types of bread, the normal white bread and the wholemeal bread to make the jigsaw puzzle sandwiches so that I can create some colour contrast.
There were actually two butter and Nutella spread sandwiches stacked together in the bento. I alternated the colours of the bread even between the upper and lower sandwiches.
Since I was using the Tom & Jerry bento box which is among the few that can fit the puzzle sandwiches, I decided to decorate the white sandwiches with seaweed punched out paws. They matched the transparent cover of the bento box perfectly. I should have taken a picture of the bento with the lid on!
Since the puzzle sandwiches already taken up most of the space in the bento box, I can only added some dried prunes and a bonus Ferrero Rocher chocolate in the bento.
JY was so happy with his bento today. When he came home from school, he told me that he only managed to eat 3 pieces of the bread before the rest were taken by some of the classmates! Maybe next time I shall make him a real big jigsaw puzzle sandwiches when I figure out how to mix and match the cutters so that he has enough to share!

Awesome and pretty puzzle bento. I still have no idea when will I use mine to create such a wonderful puzzle bento like you…hehe.
Emily Ng – Waiting eagerly for yours
I think there should be a lot more puzzle pattern that the set can make, must explore it one day.
thats a neat set of sammies! Now I am thinking whether i should get the punch set too..:)
bobo – The cutter is really handy. If your kids like sammies like my boy then maybe is worth investing
Okok… this is done! I’m going to click “BUY” on my pc screen now. No more itchy hands.. LOL!
Yeapies – Hahaha….sorry to get you into this
so nice + cute. no wonder JY was so happy. I see from the screen also i feel happy
莎莎妈咪sab – Thank you for your comments that always make me feel so happy too!
This is so cool! Where did you order the punch set? Maybe I shd make my own sandwich with it for the fun of it. Quite cool.. heheheh
Anthea – I buy it from a local online shop – bentocraft.com
Cool! Great idea to use 2 types of bread. Can see the puzzle shapes so clearly
Lia Chen – I was thinking if I use chocolate & white bread, would the puzzle look even nicer? Maybe shall give that a try too.
The puzzle sandwiches make it fun and enjoyable for your boys! I like it. Love to buy for my son too
Evelyn – My boy even play with the puzzle first before he ate them! Haha…
They cut so nicely rite?
I adores them! hahaha
Angeleyes – Oh yes, they are just so handy!
Wow! Cute idea! You mentioned that the Tom and Jerry bento box is the only one large enough to fit a sandwich. I hear that a lot of people would often like larger container sizes, but still have the bento concept for their lunches. I found one with larger sized containers that I love using. I use the bento box set with the bento buddies set, and it gives me lot’s of versatility! Here’s a link if you’re interested:

They also have a lot of menu ideas with a photo gallery for inspiration on those mornings when you just don’t have the time or creativity
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
All the best!!
Anna – Oh yes, the laptop lunch box is always in my wish list
