We're all big fans of Lego in this family. After a recent visit to Legoland Windsor, I was inspired to create a Lego themed bento for my daughter.
To make the Lego blocks I used a straw to poke holes into the cucumber and carrot, cut the vegetable a little slimmer then stuck the circle that had been cut out back into the veg. Which created little Lego like bumps.
I used turmeric to colour the rice yellow (probably a little too much as my daughter didn't like the taste, whoops......less is more with such a strong spice).

So, here's my first attempt at making a bento box for my daughter's packed lunch.

I used frankfurter sausages to make the octopuses, teddy bear ears and arms.
The teddy bear is made from rice and features nori eyes, nose, mouth and bow tie.
I also included teriyaki veg and some raspberries.
