Spring is here! Bunnies Everywhere!

Technically, it's not yet Spring till the 20th. But with the warmer weather and the change in time last Sunday, I could feel the fresh breeze of Spring coming really soon. I haven't really prepared anything bento for Spring or Easter yet, but I have one post which went to a Thanksgiving post, which is very wrong and disturbing I think...LOL!! So I thought to re-blog it for the right Season.  Here is the link for that previous post, in any event you still want to see.  


Lunch above was Missy A's. They are PBJ bunny-wich pals, with bunny picks hopping all over the sweet green grapes.  Mini mallows and raisins for treats. Everyone in her class loved this. Two of her friends took a bunny for themselves, as she gobbled whatever was left.

Welcome Spring!

Marbled Easter Egg

I was so amazed how our marbled easter eggs turned out. It's easy and no matter how you crack the shell, you get a different design each time.  I love it because it has the tie-die effect on shirts and sarongs I used to do years ago.  Not only that, but I was able to make my kids eat the eggs without hesitations too. That is the reason why I never get a good photograph of our project.  I left my camera at home, I captured it with my camera phone, and we did this at their aunt place.

The kids were so anxious for an egg hunt but we ran out of time to prepare for a good one this year. So we did it differently instead. Each one of us prepared our very own version of Easter eggs and we stuffed it with treats, money and toys for each child.  So it was more like an egg-exchange party. And everyone loved it.

Then we finished it up with this activity that each one participated. Glad I brought enough food coloring. Each one wanted to experiment on mixing colors. On top, are our 5 best eggs.  My son did 3, and my daughter did 2.  Each one of them ate 2 eggs, one was given to their favorite uncle who gobbled up the egg in no time. What a good sport!

We would definitely do this again.  Only next time, we'll make use of plastic bags to put the eggs in as we color it. Food coloring takes forever to get rid off on fingertips and  nail beds.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter!

Ain't this lovely? 
I have been continually searching for themed food ideas to prepare for school potluck parties.  I'm always told the simpler the better.  But it wouldn't hurt as well if we add some fun and character too, right?  It just adds up to work, but it's worth every effort if it makes your children prouder to present them to school.
For Easter I have found so many excellent ideas on Pinterest.
If you're already following me on Pinterest, you'd see all of these ideas on my pinboards.
I pin them as I discover them.  I may not remember the specific website, but if you double click on the individual pins, it will direct you to the rightful owner of the photograph and brilliant ideas.
If you have not done so, please follow me.
  It's a great way to discover great ideas and connect with creative and awesome people.

Happy Easter everyone!!
