Everything You Need to Up Your Bento Box Game
Turn an everyday sandwich into something more with some cookie cutters and sandwich cutters. We especially like:
- These Halloween cookie cutters will get you ghost sandwiches and fruit bats pronto
- Plastic vampire fangs bring your fruit to life
- Alphabet cookie cutters that can spell out anything you'd like
- Sandwich sealers for Uncrustable addicts
Kids love to play with their food and we love these options to encourage that (within reason, right?):
- Googly eyes that make your fruit come to life
- These animal food picks are fun for little ones
- Make your veggies look like cartoons with this option.
- These molds turn your hard-boiled egg or rice into fun shapes.
Or better yet, make it easy for yourself and grab this kit that has everything you'll need!
