Stitch and Angel Bento

I’ve always wanted to fix my kids a Stitch and Angel bento, but my boy said Stitch is ugly and naughty, and he never quite likes it. I guess Stitch is not one of those cute Disney characters so he is never my kids’ favorite. Nonetheless, I wanted to change my kids’ perception that Stitch can be cute too, especially after I saw some cute Stitch stuffed toys online.

So, here’s what I did for today’s bento:


I cut the bread in circles and spread some jam between the bread.

 


I cut the nori with exacto knife (just trace the round cutter on nori), cut off the excess and pasted them on the bread for Stitch. You might need to use some jam or butter to make sure that the nori sticks on well.

 


Cut some ham for ears.

 


I packed everything in the bentos.
Try to fold the ham ears in halves and slip them in.

 

Besides bread and ham, there are strawberries, blueberries, cherries (for my boy), grapes and edamame in the bentos too. Then, I proceeded to decorating the bentos:



I cut 3 pieces of round cheese for Stitch’s eyes and nose. By using the same round cutter, try to cut out a piece of nori in circle and place it on one of the cheese for its nose.

 


Place the nose and eyes on the bread. I cut 2 smaller circles of nori for his eyes.

 

 
Cut some ham for Angel’s eyes and nose.

 


Cut 2 tiny strips of ham for Angel too.

 


Place in the eyes, nose and pin the ham strips on her head with spaghetti strips.

 


Add tiny pieces of cheese on their eyes.

 


Add some lashes for Angel

 

Now, it’s all done! I know it sounded complicated but it’s really not that hard. :) So, here are the bentos:

And here’s my boy’s bento

 

The first thing my boy said when he saw his bento was, “Huh? This is Stitch?” LOL! I guess it’s not the same as the Stitch in cartoon huh? :)

    Yugene, welcome to my blog. :) I think you can try to get them from Daiso, 100Yen or bentomarket.com. Just get a few to start first, not sure which one should I recommend though. Maybe just some of your kids favorite characters or shape? Nori, it’s from Nico-nico. If you have some time go through my older posts, maybe you can find out more about the tools and ingredients I use often. :)

    Definitely looks pretty and stitchlike. :) Just not quite the expected color. LOL!

    Oh, wanted to ask, how long can the striped cheese last in the fridge? I made some last nite but I didn’t leave it out at room temperature to “melt/mesh” together so some of it didn’t quite stick together. Also seems to have a lot of leftover pieces :( . Now I have to think how to eat them. LOL!

    Wena, I think I used them up in 2 weeks or so. As long as the slices are individually wrapped and refrigerated in air tight container, the cheese should be ok. Just have to avoid contamination only. :P Oh…you can try again next time? Maybe the result will be better. :)

    SM, thanks. ATM, I keep the cheese wrapped in plastic which I later wrapped in kitchen towel to soak up any condensation. I also forgot to cut the cheese in half . Adoh! Ho hum. No harm done.

    The kitchen towel trick I learnt from Mum about storing cheeses although she also sometimes wrapped them up in cloth.
