Winnie The Pooh and Friends Spaghetti Bento
Winnie the Pooh and Friends have always been my kids’ all time favorite, that’s why I keep repeating the same characters from time to time. If you are interested, check out:

But for today, I packed spaghetti bolognese for my kids, and decorated the bentos with Pooh bear and friends. Here’s the preparation I did last night, as it’s quite time consuming.
I traced a picture of Winnie the Pooh from this tissue pack on a piece of tracing paper (you can use mahjung or baking paper too).
Then, I tried to prepare the “shapes” for Pooh.
Please click on the pic to go to my Flickr for bigger view. BTW, you might need an art knife or exacto knife to cut the shapes of Pooh’s body and his tee.
I cut Pooh’s face from a piece of high calcium cheese with this cutter.
Then, I placed the paper cuttings on cheese and artificial crab meat and cut out its body and tee with the exacto knife.
Store the pieces of cheese in cling wrap and keep them refrigerated in air tight container.
Piglet was cut from a piece of ham with this cutter.
Sorry about the photos as all my indoor and outdoor lights are rather yellowish. 
Anyway, here are the bentos, after packing in the spaghetti, kiwi, banana, rose apple and a small piece of guava:

Here’s my gal’s bento with Pooh bear, Piglet and Tigger.
My kids were in cloud nine when they saw the bentos this morning, and they could not wait to have their meals after school. LOL! Today’s bento is definitely one of my favorites, but it took me more than 30 minutes to prepare the ingredients last night, so it’s too time consuming for me. I would normally need less than 15 minutes of preparation a night before, and another 15 – 30 minutes in the morning. So, I won’t be fixing this kind of bento often.
Frankly, I did short cut in kyaraben, and the disadvantage of fixing it this way is, the pieces might move if you “swing” the bento hard. So, if you have concern about this, please do it the “proper” way like the Japanese mothers. Do check out this blog and see how it’s supposed to be done. 
I found that most Japanese bento-ers are very talented and they have a lot of patience!
At the same time, I packed a mini Mickey Mouse bento for my boy who’s going for an excursion today:

Again, I love that chocolate milk bread!
