Back To School Bento

Here's another First Day of School bento. Along with shoyu chicken, corn on the cob, carrots and steamed broccoli, I packed sliced Flavor Rosa pluots, lychees and blueberries inside the stainless steel divided LunchBots Trio. I made a little chalkboard from cheese and nori to commemorate the beginning of school. I freehand cut the numbers and letters with my microscissors. Do you see the little Anpanman? He (a gift from a thoughtful bento friend!) seems a bit apprehensive about all the learning. I remember how bittersweet it was to return to school in the fall. On one hand, it was hard to leave long lazy days of summer behind; but then again it's always fun to see friends again, right? How are your kids adjusting back to school?

  1. So right Sheri (about the last sentence). Totally fun bento! Now that I know you know your abc's and 123's.. You can stay home and not worry about all that classroom stuff. ;p I think my fave part of your bentos are all the amazing fresh fruits you arrange beautifully each time. Just love it. Too pretty to eat!

    Thanks C. Can't take credit for the gorgeous summer fruit, but I'll sure use them as long as I can :)

  3. Wonderful back to school bento! Cute expression from the Anpanman pick with the numbers & ABCs hehehe ... It will be fun to see friends and probably get a new friend in the class too. I believe MM and TS are excited to learn more in the new level (^.^)

  9. I love the blackboard idea - so creative!!!! Thanks for responding to my question in the prev comment section. I'm following your way (obviously). I can't imagine squeezing time to make bento every night. You are doing such a great job every single day...
