Simple St. Patrick's Day Bentos

4 Simple St. Patrick's Day Bento Lunches:
I made St. Patrick's Day themed bento lunches all week for Eliana and thought I would share them! I actually planned ahead! Normally I make her lunches the day of, or literally right before lunch. This week on Tuesday I made Tuesday's and Wednesday's lunch. Then on Wednesday I made Thursday's and Friday's lunch. If only every week I was this organized! I always use what I have to make lunches all week so you'll see I had a lot of cucumbers, and bell peppers in the fridge :) Just don't ask me what she had on Monday... its almost Friday and I actually forgot :-P

Tuesday:
This Simple St. Patrick's Day Bento Lunch was so quick to put together! In her LunchBots QuadEliana had a cucumber Leprechaun Hat (tutorial can be found here), and a vegetable rainbow made from bell peppers and cucumbers. She also had blackberries, raspberries and some cheese and crackers. I cut the cheddar cheese with a mini shamrock cutter.

Wednesday:
This Lucky Lunch was packed in an EasyLunchbox. In the main compartment is our leprechaun, modeled after our Lucky the Leprecahun. This Lucky is a Wowbutter and honey sandwich cut with a circle cookie cutter. His beard and nose are cut from cheddar cheese and his eyes are mini chocolate chips. Underneath him are some pretzel twists. Eliana also had half of a rainbow in bell peppers and a cucumber Leprechaun Hat.

Thursday:
This was a simpler/plain bento.  I don't always make the most decorated lunches for Eliana, but they always are packed with presentation in mind. Here in her LunchBots Trio she has a ham and cheese and spinach tortilla sandwich (multiple layers of each) cut with a shamrock cookie cutter.  She also had pretzel twists, cucumbers, cheese stick and strawberries.

Friday:
Eliana's Shamrock Bento Lunch was packed in an EasyLunchbox.I used my heart cutter and made three sandwiches and placed them together like a shamrock.  The shamrock is a chocolate soynutbutter sandwich on whole wheat bread.   I used a piece of the bread crust for the stem. Cucumber shamrocks are stacked with a shamrock pick. Vanilla yogurt is packed in a mini dipper (placed inside a silicone cup).  I don't have shamrock sprinkles so I used the sprinkles I had and made them look like shamrocks. I used a toothpick to take some food dye and make a "stem" for the shamrock. **note that sprinkles will dissolve into the yogurt over time and should be added the day of-- not the day before (or even two days before)... Unless you like green dissolved sprinkles in your yogurt. Not that I would know or anything...**
