Bento Toys

Kenny's mom dropped by my new Pampered Chef mini cookie cutters today. They're really really cute and small perfect for cutting apples and cheeses into tiny bento box fun shapes. I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of these adorable little things. They come in this nifty little tin to hopefully keep them together as much as I possibly can. I can see the heart and star one getting worn out and the pumpkin will be getting a lot of use with halloween just around the corner.

I ordered a "men's" bento box set from a store in Japan. The kids thought it was pretty neat to get a package from Japan. I showed them all the different writing on the packaging and let them help me open the box. It came with a few other bento trinkets like food dividers and some soy sauce bottles. But this is what I was really buying. Something for dad to take to work. I was looking for a 2 tier one so that I could pack cold stuff and hot stuff and he could remove one tray and microwave it and leave the other tray with cold stuff on it out of the microwave. Tomorrow is a bento box day, I'll have to test this one out!
