Simplified Sesame Street Bento
I felt like doing something simple again this morning. Anyway, since when my bentos are complicated? LOL!
I’ve always wanted to fix Sesame Street bentos for my kids, but so far, I’ve only tried Elmo. I wanted to put more characters in today’s bentos, but due to time constraint, I did it the easiest way I can think of.
I prepared 2 slices of white bread and an oval cutter.
Cut the bread in quarters.
Cut an oval out from the top pieces.
Spread some strawberry and blueberry jam on 2 pieces of sandwiches, and slip in some smoked cheese on the other sandwiches.
Then, I packed everything in the bentos and added carrots as noses, and white cheese as eyes for the characters. Ernie’s mouth was cut from a small piece of artificial crab meat.
Besides sandwiches, there is a small piece of mini pizza, some strawberries and grapes in the bentos too. I proceeded to punch and cut some nori for the eyes and mouth, and thus here’s the end result:
My gal’s Elmo and Ernie bento. She cut the small piece of teddy cheese to be placed on her strawberry.
My boy’s bento has Bert and Cookie Monster instead.
Maybe it’s too simplified, so they don’t look quite like the real characters. My boy took a look at his bento and said, “Huh? This is Bert? This is Cookie Monster?” 
doesnt look ‘simplified’ to me! really nice portrayal of the sesame street characters! i’ve been following your blog for sometime now and i would like to say that your kids’ bento ROCKS!
Hui Wearn, thanks. Maybe my boy was expecting them to look “better”.
My mom said, I really spoilt my kids. LOL!
simplified? no ….., it’s your boy who has vey high standards, cos he has a very talented mom!
It doesn’t look simplified to me too.. i am not dare to try making those cartoon characters yet..@~@.. so my daughter can’t have any cutey cartoon characters for her meal..hehe
i don’t think it’s easy to make characters at all. haha. you really impress me with your tenacity and creativity. I tried making domokun yesterday but a bit fail la. need more practise!
Skinnymum, I’m flattered. *blush*
~Rachel~, oh, once you start and your girl will be asking for more characters. LOL!
Spunkz, thanks.
Your domokun looks nice la. 
I read from Anna the Red about her tutorial on Domokun, and it’s awesome! I’ve always wanted to try a few tutorials from Anna, but my kids are not so familiar with those characters, so they are not so keen. Maybe one day when they are older.
Wow! It look cute!! Simple but very creative bento! It do look like the real character to me.
Wow.. this is so cute!!!! I missed out this bento hahaha… we vote for Elmo & Ernie… it’s so “REAL” and cute.. you are great with idea
So creative! Love the Sesame Street gang.
