Fancy tofu cut-outs for bento boxes – Aww, kissing giraffes
When I was researching as much as I could about bento boxes for the girls, Wendolonia is one of the sites I went back to multiple times. She had some hardcore facts and instructional tips, but also had a lot of fun examples of bentos.
I can’t help but want to share her tutorial on how to make tofu cut-outs, too. Aren’t the giraffes adorable? I don’t have much experience with tofu outside of smoothies and stir-fries, but her kids love baked tofu and she loves playing with it, so it’s a great combo.
Check out the full picture tutorial for yourself at her site and browse around her gallery for some other great examples.
When life gives you bananas, write secret messages!
Curved yellow fruits…er, I mean…bananas are such a cheap fruit to find year round, but frankly, they can get boring fast.
With kids going back to school and lunchboxes waiting to be packed 5 days a week for the next 9 months, this is a great way to make the banana a little more fun.
I found them on Laura’s site and she found them elsewhere, but I’ll link to her because she has a nice tutorial on how to do it with several other pictures.
It’s super easy, though…..just poke your message or pictures into the banana peel with a toothpick and by lunchtime, you’ll be able to see it show through. Plain banana in the morning….secret message by noon, woo.
And if you’re feeling extra artsy, don’t be afraid to bust out full sketches like this:
