It's now after 11am and I do have to do something for the preschool aged Thumbelina, so I thought, hey? Why don't I bento for her? It's not a box, but it's still creatively prepared, and I have the perfect plates for it. I call it "Flower Power":
Cheese Flowers, with a raisin center and celery stems
Bologna and cheese cut with the same cutters and celery stems
If I were super creative, I guess the peanut butter would be a flower, but I don't rock that much
I also picked up some really cool lunch boxes at Walmart for $1.68. I got 3 in the pack, and they are much stronger than your 3 sectioned gladware containers, and I hope they hold up well, they should, as they are practically un-bendable:

That is very cool! I am just starting to pack DD's lunch, and am looking for run, creative ideas! Have you seen this blog?

She has some neat ideas!
Someone linked me the other day. I love her bread! http://lunchfitforakid.blogspot.com/2010/09/recipe-rainbow-pain-de-mie.html
I'm going to have to try and make it one day, but I need to ask her what type of pan she uses.
She uses this pan http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/pain-de-mie-pullman-pan
From what I can tell, it's a bread pan with a lid to create perfect corners (taken from the King Authur site.... I had no idea what it was when I first read about her pan!)
I thank you, my husband says "Great, another tool for the kitchen" :P He complains, but always seems to gobble up what I make, so he can hush it. Thank you!
