Bento Accompaniments

THE CUTE FACTOR
The pleasure I get from sorting through all these wee treasures and choosing the right colour combination or theme, is embarrassingly huge. I'm glad my kid seems to appreciate all of this almost as much as I do.

Happy Wee Containers ...
I use the little fish for soy sauce. I put ketchup in the monkey container. And I use the taller containers for raisins and other small bit treats that will fit through the dispensing hole.




Little Skewers for Wee Fingers ...
These tiny little creatures brighten up cheese and pineapple cubes. They also work to spear a row of edamame [soy beans], a favourite of mine and Spud's.




You Gotta Keep 'em Separated ...
Some adorable little sheets that add a lot of charm while keeping the red pepper from staining your hard boiled egg.




Don't Stand So Close to Me ...
Like the bento dividers, these mini containers also help prevent unwanted mingling of flavours. I also like to put little treats in these guys, such as a simple trail mix [cashews/dried cranberries/pumpkin seeds/mini m&m's]. Messy fruit pieces that might juice up the bento can also be contained in these little gems. The paper cups are coated on the inside.
