Frog on a Pond of Peas


We were home today for lunch, so, inspired by Bento of the Week, I decided to have a play with a green themed lunch and made a Frog on a Pond of Peas for Mr 3's enjoyment!

To make your own pond, you need a Frog Shaped Cookie Cutter to cut a Froggy Shape out of a slice of bread.

You then butter the frog with some green avocado. The froggy frame can also be buttered and enjoyed separately.
To put the box together, make your pond by filling the bottom of the box with peas. Then, pop Mr Froggy on top of the peas. I also added a few little green picks filled with peas for an extra little treat. They are in 1st photo in the top corner, but in case you can't see them properly, here is a more details view of the pea picks.
On the 2nd side of the lunch box I simply filled a green cupcake wrapper with some grapes.
Mr 3's face lit up when he saw his Frog on a Pond of Peas. He proceeded to eat his way through Mr Froggy, his pea pond and all the grapes! Success!
