Fun Lunchbox Ideas

Today making lunch took a little longer than usual.
I found this great website "Hawaii Bento Boxes for Kids", and loved her Hello Kitty Sandwich,
and Perry The Platypus sandwich.
We love Phineas and Herb and I couldn't wait to try these "sammies"

Here are the original Hello Kitty and Perry the Platypus Sandwiches

Here is my first attempt at Sandwich Art

while I was at it, I decided to make melon stars as well....

p.s. after making these, wrap each sandwich in wax paper tightly to keep the details in tack until opening!

I am sure my daughter will be very surprised when she opens up her lunch!

Edible Cake and Cupcake Bunting

All you will need is a box of Fruit Roll-ups and lollipop sticks. I recommend working on a sheet of waxed paper, since the temperatures are rising it can get a bit sticky.

Bunting: Take a sheet of Fruit Roll-up and cut into strips across the width. Cut again in half. Tie a piece of twine to two lollipop sticks.

Press each flag over the twine. Cut out the bunting shape with a knife and carefully lift off of the waxed paper.

Back to School Gifts for Kids or Teachers - a candy pencil

I know there have been a lot of Back to School Ideas, but I can't help myself...
There have been too many cute ideas that I want to share....

They are made from Rolo Candies!!!!

These pencils are so cute and easy.

Found on Thrifty and Thriving.com

What you will need:

Rolo’s

Hershey Hugs (or Kisses)

Yellow and Pink Cardstock

Foil

Glue Dots

Ribbon or String

Craft Scissors w/ Pinking Edge (optional)

Pull the Hershey’s label out of the Hug, and use the Glue Dots to attach the Hershey’s Hug to one of the ends of the Rolo. If you aren’t familiar with Glue Dots, they are the best things EVER!!  Everybody needs a box or two or three in their house.  I usually pick them up at Michael’s with a 40% off coupon.

Cut about a 1″ thick pink strip to add to the top of the Rolo to resemble an eraser.  I cut a circle and attached it to the top to finish it off.

Next cut a piece of yellow cardstock to wrap around the Rolo’s.  Fold it about an quarter of an inch over and over to create the crease marks for the pencil, and then attach it to the Rolo’s

Cut a thin piece of foil to cover the part where the yellow and pink overlap, this works as the metal portion of the pencil. Lastly, you can attach a note to the finished product with a ribbon or string. You are done!

Optional: You can cut one end of the yellow cardstock with pinking scissors so it has more of that sharpened pencil look.
