Lego Bentos

I was hanging out with my friend last Sunday while she put together her Lego Diagon Alley from Harry Potter, we were also watching a Very Potter Musical which is super hilarious and I recommend it to anyone who is a Harry Potter Fan... or even anyone who's read the books or watched the movies. It's so silly and completely cracked out, but it's so funny.
Anyway, she brought out all her extra Legos for me to play with while we watched the movie and she requested that I make a Lego bento... so that's exactly what I did.
Here is what I came up with.
I built a Blue and Green striped Bento and multicolored Chop Sticks... and then I filled it with Lego Food
  • Onigiri with Umeboshi
  • Beef Teriyaki
  • Spinach Tamagoyaki
  • Broccoli
  • Shiso leaves as decoration
This next bento is supposed to be based on the traditional bentos that I've seen
  • The rice with the Umeboshi in the middle is called Hinomaru style rice, meaning it looks like the Japanese Flag.
  • The mess of colors are supposed to be Mixed Vegetables.
  • The Brown thing is supposed to be Some kind of fish or meat.
I didn't plan this bento out very well, so I don't think it's a s nice looking as the first bento. But I wanted to make the Hinomaru style rice, so I quickly put it together anyway. I hope you like my lego bentos. Please do not eat. lol
Perhaps I will make another lego bento in the future, because it was very fun and I like how they came out.

  9. So it just occurred to me that my picky eater 6 yr old (after having two kids older than him who eat everything we hand them) will probably eat even better if I make a cute bento lunch on an actual plate made of legos! (with a plastic kids dish in it)!

  10. Yes that's a great Idea. Making food fun for kids is defenitely helpful with picky eaters. Also introducing the same food in a variety of ways can help them find the way they like to eat it.

  11. Wow, cool! two of my favorite things put together!

    And drool, I'm jealous that your friend has Diagon Alley. I'm not even a HP fan but love those buildings!

  12. Thank you. Yeah, She has a ton of lego buildings from different movies including HP, but she also has random little houses and buildings and marketplaces. I love her collection of lego animals.
