Owl Bento Babies
With all the summer holiday fun, I have realised it's been a little while since I posted a Bento Babies idea!
Over the summer the boys have been eating lots of snack teas and lunches and I always follow the basic principles of Bento, I just keep forgetting to take some photos!
You can read all about Bento Babies here, if you are wondering what on earth I am on about!
I love how presentation makes such a difference at their young ages. That all from a little effort from me, I can get them trying new foods and save me going mad from preparing the same old lunches every day!
Bento isn't just for packed lunches for school goers. I have followed the basic ideas since I weaned Ollie.
Small portions (remember one portion for them is their fist, not yours), colour, shapes, creativity!
Last month was heavy on ends of eras. There were lots of goodbyes last month. You can read about them here.
My big boy flew the nest too. The Little Owls Pre School nest!
He adored his lunch on the last day of school!

Cold pasta is such a great lunch filler!
If you are often struggling for new ideas for snack teas try ticking off a few of these.
Happy Bentoing everyone!
