Rain Rain Go Away!

Even though we had a beautiful and sunny weekend it has been raining again for days. I am wondering when summer will actually finally make it's appearance!

To make yet another rainy day brighter I packed a summery caterpillar lunch.

I found this very easy tutorial for sandwich balls at Cute Foods For Kids and just thought it was a great idea to switch things up. The sandwich balls are made with whole wheat flax bread and filled with a dollop of Nutella. I tried one that broke in the making and have to say they are delicious and fun to eat!

The lunch is made up of three sandwich balls. The caterpillar head is a sandwich ball in a flower shaped silicone cup with candy eyes and a dye-free fruit leather mouth. The body is made out of two sandwich balls decorated with bread crust. There are also blueberry bento picks, crackers and peanuts and a yogurt decorated with dye-free fruit leather and dye-free sprinkles.

Let's hope summer comes soon!

Happy Wednesday,

First Day of Spring

Hooray for the first day of Spring!

We only packed snack today since two of the kids are home but I got to use our new butterfly snack box :)

 There are ladybugs and bees and of course lots of flowers. I used the garden bento picks which included bees, ladybugs and daisies to decorate the blueberries and strawberries. Of course we needed a jelly bunny sandwich which is nestled on some butter salad grass with carrot and cheese flowers inmidst more jelly flower sandwiches, making the snack box look like a spring garden.

Enjoy the weather today and Happy Spring,
