Inspired by the Spirited Away movie, directed by the famous Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki. This movie is one of the kind that gives a deep impression and hard to forget.

Mummy Sandwich

Mummy sandwich is very easy to prepare. I cut the sandwich and ham using the egg ring. Then assembled them together and put the ham in the middle. I also cut the cheese-sliced using egg ring, then sliced them criss cross and arranged them on top of the sandwich. I used cream cheese to glue them on. And last but not least, I glued 2 dried sultanas on top of the sandwich for the eyes using cream cheese as well.

I had so much fun making these bento. The hardest part was to cut the spider's legs, but I was so pleased with the results. Those spiders look so adorable :)

Egg Witches Bento

The holiday is over and the boys are ready to enter term 4.  We start the day with our first Halloween-themed bento, the Egg Witches bento. 
I've prepared the mummy-dogs and the creepy finger pastry the night before, so I don't need to rush in the morning.

To make the mummy-dogs, I wrapped sliced puff pastry around the Kransky cheese, and baked them until the pastry cooked and turned slightly brown. And for the creepy fingers, I cut the puff pastry in triangular shaped, then rolled it one by one until it formed like finger, and then baked them until it turned  slightly brown.  After it cooled down, I brushed a little red food colouring in the pointy bit of the pastry like fingernail.

Details as below :

For my eldest son, I prepared :
1. Mummy-dog
2. Creepy finger
3. Corn on the cob
4. Ghost egg witch (hard boiled egg and nori)
5. Jack O'Lanterns (carrot with nori)
6. Apple cuts for recess
