Fourth of July Fireworks
June 29, 2012
My super talented bento blogger friends are hopping again! Today we are getting a head start on July 4th with a Patriotic Bento Blog Hop. Make sure you click the button at the end of the post to see Cristi’s cute creation celebrating Canada. Sounds fun, eh?
Cora’s cheese sandwich is a fireworks display decorated with cheese and fruit leather. The vegan marshmallow clouds are holding adorable pinwheel cupcake picks. They really spin, Cora is going to LOVE them! I probably should have saved them for her birthday lunch next week, but I couldn’t resist!
The patriotic lunch is finished with a vanilla coconut yogurt flag (decorated with blueberries and raspberries) and pineapple and watermelon stars. I put a cling wrap layer on top of the yogurt to keep it from spilling. This lunch is pretty light on complex grains, but she eats a ton of crackers and pretzels at snack time, so I’m not worried.

Don’t forget to hop!

That is an awesome fireworks display! And don’t tell me if you cut them by hand. Let me live under the illusion that you found awesome cutters somewhere.

Thanks for sharing these great pics. We just fihisned a mini study on Japan and it introducted the Bento boxes to my youngest son and thought it was neat. Now he can get a better understanding by viewing your photos and hopefully will inspire him to make one for himself.. Thanks again
