Enough chitter-chatter. The goods:
The top tier: clementine orange and apple slices.
The apple slices were dipped in lemon juice to prevent browning and I flip-flopped the slices to make a visually interesting pattern in the bento box. The clementine is topped with a tiny fruit leather flower and secured with a bento pick.
The top tier: in one silicone cup there are grilled chicken chunks, leftover from dinner, in another silicone cup there are a couple cheddar cheese birds (the scraps tucked under them), with some pretzels squeezed in the gaps.
The bento pick is kind of neat, because from the top it looks like a flower (as seen in first picture), but from the side, surprise! It's a frog-esque turtle dude.
Ethan and I agree he kinda looks like a baby Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. :) This top tier comes with a really nice lid that seals it nicely, but it wouldn't fit with that pick sticking up so high, so the turtle dude had to come out and was just laid beside the orange (at Ethan's request) before sealing the bento up for transport.
This bento box and bento pick set were ordered from ATFS.

Love the apple idea. That would be great for making the American flag with a cup of blueberries and white sprinkle stars. I made my first Bento lunch today!
I agree with the flag idea! I even have a navy star-shaped silicone cup that would be perfect to put to the side. I need to remember than on flag day. :p
Good for you making your first bento! Yay! Welcome to the club! :)
I have that bento box and it gets constant use in our house. It's the perfect size for Augie's lunches and I love the lid for the top tier.
Wendy, does yours have birds and flowers on the lid?
The one you showed on your video a long time ago - with the little pictures of foods, I LOVED that one. I hunted high and low for one just like it to no avail! That thing haunted me, I wanted it so bad. *blush*
And I like the one you posted here Melissa. Wendy and M, please do reveal, if you remember, where you got them. Ta.
I have a similar-designed box like that. Mine is all orange. I got it from Daiso.
I ordered mine from the site I mentioned, ATFS. :)
I have the bird/flower one like yours and the one with the happy food on the lid -- both were purchased at a Daiso store. They are identical except for color/lid design. I like the happy food one a lot too -- so cute!
The pick looks like it's a kappa! So cute :D
