THANKSGIVING - Bento Box Pilgrim Lunch


Grateful Pilgrims Bento

There are so many things to be grateful for, such as: being able to create a fun lunch for my kids! Okay, maybe some people wouldn't be adding a chore like packing lunches, to their thankful list, but I have fun with it and they are more excited about lunch when it comes in fun shapes, people and sizes.

This was Thanksgiving theme number 1.


Pilgrims: It is made up up cheese and crackers (not pictured because they were boring.) To cut the pilgrims, I use mini gingerbread man/woman cookie cutters and then free-handed the hats.  I colored them in with black edible marker and made skirts using cheese-it crackers with the top corners cut off.


Veggies: I attempted to make corn on the cob with the baby carrots, but hard to tell in the picture. I also have bugles for cornucopias and fruit snacks and coins for 'harvest treasure' treat.


Turkey:The strawberry and lettuce are supposed to resemble a turkey, so if you see it, great if not, no worries that required more creative thinking than it was worth.
