My favorite thing about social media is that it introduces you to new people, new sites, new ideas, and new levels of creativity. Thanks to Pinterest and Instagram, I have recently discovered a whole SLEW of bento bloggers.
Yes, a whole slew of them… gobs of them… a TON of them.
And, each time I visit a new site or see a new bento picture in my Instagram stream, I find my jaw dropping with the unbelievable talent these Mamas have when it comes to making lunch.
I mean — Y’ALL! With cutters and stamps and silicone cups (and amazing collections of bento boxes), they can whip up penguin shaped rice balls, make Swiper the Fox out of cheese and carve snails out of apples.
Yeah, I’m kind of out of my league.
Nonetheless, if you are looking for lunch inspiration on a small or grand scale, check out the Bento Bloggers and Friends and follow them on Facebook. I promise your jaw will drop when you see these lunches!
Today’s Lunches for the Kidlets
The Little Lady and Mr. Boy requested different things today; she wanted butterflies and he wanted motorcycles.
Typical.

Link Up with I Heart Lunch!
I adore getting inspiration and ideas (and even “THAT’S how you do that” moments) from others out there … so let’s share with one another with the “I Heart Lunch Weekly Link-up.”
You can link to a blog post or flickr photos — this linky is for any kind of healthy school lunch, regardless if it is Bento-style or not. I want to celebrate our efforts to provide good and enjoyable school lunches for our children!
The linky is offered each Tuesday when I share our Bento lunches so you’ll be able to add your lunches every week. My only request is that you either add a link back to this post or include the Lunch Graphic (which links back) to your post so others can get here to view the linked lunches too!
Link up your school lunches and bentos! Please use a permalink for your post rather than linking your general blog/flickr account URL — this will help people go directly to your fabulous lunch!
Note: you can link a blog post, facebook photo, flickr page, etc.
Now — link ‘em up!

Thanks for linking up to my apple snail post! Don’t do yourself down though, your lunches are gorgeous and always look so tasty too!
Thanks, Grace.
You are so NOT out of your league! You are talented at this. So fun! How’s about I borrow your kids for a few days so I can make some bento box lunches?
These are so cute, I wish I had taken the time to do these for Jake when he was younger.
Thanks for hosting the link-up.
You’re so very welcome!
I love them, especially the butterfly!
wow! I’m going to spend DAYS looking over all of these links
I can’t wait to find something new to try.
You and me both!
Those are gorgeous lunches! I love the bright colors, interesting designs and wonderful presentation. Who wouldn’t want to eat those lunches?
I’ve been doing Bento style lunches for my children and they are having a blast with lunch. I wish I would have started sooner. They are eating so much healthier now, just because it looks better LOL!
Wow this is a lot of good looking links to check out, thank you! Love your linkies!
Can you pack my lunch?!
I really want to start making these for my daughter.
I wonder if I can get my teenager to eat more veggies by making bento lunches LOL
Your bento boxes are amazing! I am way to lazy to do something like this though, lol.
Love seeing your new creations. If I was more inspired I would make a few of these for the boys!
I love your lunches
