I love how cute and simple this idea is! Can you imagine the smiles on your child’s face when they open up their lunch box to find these cartoon characters<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"food<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I can imagine lots of little girls will love this butterfly snack<\/a> idea. You can even do it together as a craft item one afternoon. Decorate some wooden pegs, style antennas with pipe cleaners, and clip onto a ziplock bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Owl Toast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"food<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I never thought that toast could be so fun! I love that I have all the items I need in my fridge and pantry to make these owl toast<\/a>. Something I look forward to doing this weekend for the kids!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Bear Pizza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"food<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How gorgeous is this bear pizza<\/a>. Use a shape or sandwich cutter to cut the shape out of bread. Make your pizza as you would and place a round-shaped cheese nose and details on the face. Simple! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Flower Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"food<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using only one cookie cutter, you can repeat the shapes with different items in their lunchbox. This flower<\/a> themed lunch would make a lovely surprise for anyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"food<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Does your little one love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/a>? Use strips of fruit roll up for the mask and add some eyes. If you can’t get hold of of candy eyes, you can use mini marshmallows cut in half with a sultana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Koala Sandwich<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"food<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have seen lots of cute Japanese bento box accessories you can buy online or in asian shops and they have lots of interesting sandwich cutters like this koala<\/a> one. If you love food art, invest in some to bring delight to your kids!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
