The girls want to have a picnic at the park.  What?  An excuse to pack a bento lunch?  Why yes!  Let’s do it!  I let them choose their own cookie cutters today.

Miss A chose a mushroom sandwich.  I gave her an almond butter & jam sandwich.  On top are vegan cheese dots and face.  The grass below is honeydew melon and to the right is a chopped date roll coated in coconut.  At the top left are kiwi slices with a ladybug pick and at the top right are blueberries with a mushroom pick.  The mushroom container has dried cranberries.

Miss G chose a giraffe for her lunch. The giraffe’s spots are vegan cheese too.  Next to him are baby broccoli trees.  At the top left are mini carrots and at the top right are small yellow and green tomatoes we got from King Family Farm and Market the other day with a giraffe pick.  Both girls’ lunches are packed in our Easy Lunch Boxes for our park picnic.
