Competitive lunchboxes

[MrsSnaplegs]

I think I've seen it all now
Japanese mother's art work

Well I thought they were good

oh I caught the end of that earlier, very impressive, edible Michael Jackson and Barrack Obama. Totally out of my league though so it better not become the trend over here

Awesome!

Makes me want to raise my game. I have a 3yo with allergies who eats a lot of Asian food. Am now wondering if I could find a Japanese kids bento recipe book for inspiration.

HB - I can imagine the post in a few months time "AIBU to think this mother is going OTT with the lunchbox prep?"

I knew this would be about Japan.
How good of a mother you are depends on how much effort you put into the lunchbox. I know women who go to bed at 9:00, so they can get up before 6 to prepare it.
I FAIL in the mother department.

My neighbor does this and then posts her pictures onto Facebook. The lunch boxes are nice but her house is an absolute tip and the kids never look properly clothed. (That sounds really judgey but it's true.)

Sakura, I have seen you with your kids and you definitely do not fail. :)

And the above post of mine sounds stalkerish but I assure you it's not. FIL2010.

I wonder what art work I can make with a chocolate sandwich, a bag of wotsits and a fruit shoot . All suggestions welcomed

good lord two hours to make a packed lunch :) although have to say the hello kitty lunch looked very cute!!

oh, thank you Asnowflake! No, not stalkerish. I have no idea who you are but I'm guessing one of those lovely ladies I met last year in London
