Pooh Bear and Friends & Rabbit Family Bentos

I didn’t pack much for my kids last week as hubby was away from the office, and I brought my kids straight home after school. My kids were pretty glad that they didn’t have to tug along with us for a few more hours while waiting for daddy to finish his work. But start from this week, it’s back to “hanging around” at office after school, and they need their tea bentos again.

I didn’t have anything special in mind, so I decided to use the Pooh bear rice mold as a bread cutter. It’s been awhile since I last used this rice mold, so I better dug it out from the tool box. :P


Cut the bread with Pooh rice mold.

 

However, this rice mold is not sharp enough, so it’s not easy to cut into the bread. If you have the Pooh toast cutter, I would suggest you use that cutter instead.


To minimize wastage, I cut the leftover bread with a bunny cutter.

 


I cut a small piece of ham with the mini Piglet cutter. Cut a small triangule from kamaboko (pink fish cake) for its nose too.

 


Use the same cutter, and cut the ears for Piglet. Just cut off the excess with a knife.

 

 
Stack the kamaboko ears on the ham. Then, proceed to adding his eyes and lips with nori (sorry, photo was not taken!)

 

After that, I packed the sandwiches, quail eggs, cherries, blueberries, mangosteen and papaya in the bentos.  Thus, here’s the end result:

Those are the bento names given by my boy. :)

    I like this bento Amy :) I think for your girl’s bento, the smile you did on the rabbit is actually nicer, happier and cutter then the original print on the bread cutter itself :) What you say?

    hi, may i know how do you cut out the eyes, noce and mouth for pooh bear? just by pressing that yellow cutter (that you use to cut piglet’s ear) on the seaweed sheet? It’s sharp enough? Thanks

    Thanks ????? (is this your blogger name? :P ) and Jacss.

    Woon, the facial details were punched with seaweed and punchers. You can refer to some of my posts and check out the punchers I use often. :)
