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).

I made these little panda bears by shaping the rice into panda shapes, then added nori to make the arms, and features.

I made the cucumber and carrots into flowers. The octopuses are made from frankfurters and the panda is made from rice and nori.
