Happy Bear Sandwich

We are so excited to add the happy bear sandwich mold to our collection. It is so cute and so easy to make, our 5 year old makes it almost everyday! It only takes her 5 minutes to get it all together. We have put together a set of instructions here to help you and your child make a fun lunch together.

1. Warm the bread in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften the bread - we find it easier to cut/mold.

2. Spread a layer of your favorite jam/ peanut butter in the center of the bread.  Be careful not to over stuff the bread or it might break!

3. Combine slices of bread

4. Place the bear mold on top of the sandwich. Make sure all the ingredients and sandwich is within the mold.

5. Press the mold gently but firmly into the sandwich. Also, it helps to press around the edges before removing the sandwich from the mold.

You can add some cocoa to the eyes and nose to make them pop!

All done. Hello everyone! I’m Mr Bear.

We will use other ingredients next time. Lets all try this cute sandwich this week. What a fun idea for lunch!

Chinese New Year Inspiration Bento

Hello everyone! We are celebrating the Chinese New Year now and it is one of the most important celebration when we lived in Malaysia. We would celebrate it for at least 2 weeks starting from the 30th day on the Chinese Calendar (the last day of the month / Chinese New Year eve). This is the time where everyone would go home for a reunion dinner and have a big feast! Back in Malaysia, we usually would have a big hot pot of fish, chicken and vegetables. Kids would get red packets with some money in it for luck! We would cut our hair, clean our homes and buy new clothes. It is a really fun time especially for kids.

It is the year of the Sheep this year so I'm finding a lot of really cute sheep bento box inspirations that I'm excited to share with you.
