Paige's lunch:
Packed in an EasyLunchboxes container:
- peanut butter & blueberry preserve sandwich, cut with a Lunch Punch "Landwich" shape - Australia!
- whole grain Goldfish crackers (to fill the Great Barrier Reef area)
- a few koala cookies
- mixed fruit, speared with a couple cute bento picks, a mighty croc and a dingo ("the dingo got my grapey!") (from this set).
- I added a little fruit leather heart to send my love to Kiersten, the Lunch Punch creator. Mwah!
Tyler's lunch:
Also packed in an EasyLunchboxes container:
- same peanut butter & blueberry preserve sandwich, but cut with the Lunch Punch "Vroom!" car shape
- some organic vanilla cookies, featuring electric cars (cute!) (from Whole Foods)
- whole wheat pretzel sticks
- mixed fruit
- a hand-cut lightning bolt to mirror the cookies. That lightening bolt was trickier for me to cut out than I'd like to admit!
My little car lovin' boy was thrilled with his car sandwich. He said "honk honk!". So cute. :)
note: The Australia cutter is part of the not-released-yet "Landwiches" set of Lunch Punches. They are not available for sale, but this Aussie one was part of a promotion for Bega cheese that took place in Australia several months ago. I was lucky enough to get one of those ones.

Love the "Great Barrier Reef" Such a cute idea! Where do you get the koala cookies? Adorable!
The lightening bolt is such a simple shape but it adds such a visual punch! Love these lunches Melissa :)
Corey, I can't remember where the koala cookies came from! They are a Japanese thing, same sort of small box as the Hello Panda cookies. I had to have picked them up at either World Market or possible when I was in CA in October. I did hop into a Japanese dollar store while there and got a couple things, but I just don't recall!
how about the lighnting bold cookies?
Th cookies with cars and lightening bolts are from Whole Foods.
cool. thank you. Do you remember the brand by any chance?
Australia is upside down isn't it?
Probably. LOL :)
I don't have the cookie box anymore, but it was Eco*"something". Like Eco*Kids, maybe. There are also suns, planets and wind machines in the mix.
The dingo ate my grapey. Ha! Seriously made me laugh out loud. I'd like you to make ME a bento lunch. Ummm, I'm 40. :)
And, did you hear? They reopened the dingo case. New evidence or something like that. Happened a few weeks ago.
Reopened the Dingo took my baby case?!! No way! That's crazy. It seems like a million years ago I saw that made-for-tv movie!
Here's one link to the latest... http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/lindy-baby-azaria-and-the-dingo-3002965.html
It's been looked into at least three times, I believe. It's pretty fascinating to me. When I was at Uluru/Ayers Rock, I might have been mumbling "the dingo ate my baby". The. Entire. Time.
LOL!! That is totally something I would do. :D
Melissa, love the lunches and I am so into the Goodbyn looking at your cute lunches. Does it fit into a regular lunch box?
BTW, I linked back the homemade foodpicks tutorial to your blog.

Hi Rina! The original Goodbyn is really huge and doesn't fit in a lunchbox (only fits in our huge family-sized cooler). But the newer, smaller, Bynto (also by Goodbyn) DOES fit in a lunchbox.
It's a wee bit big to fit properly in an EasyLunchboxes cooler bag - it will fit, but sit at a diagonal. However, we have three other regular sized "normal" lunchboxes that is fits into perfectly. Any standard sized rectangle lunchbox will work for it!
The cookies are called Eco-Planet! Hope that helps! :)
Australia is upside down
Poor Australia, up side down. :( And Tazzy is disappeared? :O
The great barrier reef is on the north east side of Australia, and it's upside down. Hehehe.
But wonderful concept! I got the Aussie day lunch punch too. I love the little croc picks! :D
Thanks Melissa. Will look for it in the WHole foods. For anyone else, if your local whole foods doesn't carry it, here;s the link to the website - http://ecoheavenllc.com
You are really really really talented!
