*Cute lunch check-in*

One day late! It was a long, busy weekend!
My DD turned 5 this weekend, so this was her last lunch as a four-year-old, with foods that she chose herself, packed in a new box with four containers. Star spaghetti with sauce and cheese, blueberries, celery, yellow carrots and a Babybel cheese.
Hello, 5-year-old! Again, DD's choice of foods. Five mini jelly sandwiches on picks, a tower of celery, blueberries on rainbow picks, hardboiled egg with party hat and a Babybel cheese.
I'd like to think DD ate some other things on her birthday party, but her lunch on Saturday pretty much consisted of this pancake cake (cook cake batter on a griddle like pancakes) and lemon cakepops.
Dogs! Rotisserie chicken with a dog pick, a stack of yellow carrots, Wheat Thins, blueberries, Babybel cheese with cupcake dog decorations, cashews in a dog silicone container, a few dog bone crackers and two little strawberries. Lots of food, lots of variety and she ate it all!
DD has suddenly decided she's into dinosaurs, so I did my best to make a dino lunch in a mini three-tiered bento box. Mini sealed sandwiches and blueberries with bone picks. In the middle are a Babybel cheese with a dino cutout (DD was not impressed with my work), hardboiled egg and some s'mores Goldfish. Strawberries at the end.
Have a great week everyone and PIP your cute lunches here!

Re: *Cute lunch check-in*
Most of my bento containers and accessories come from allthingsforsale.com. Once a year I go to a Daiso store in California - not sure if they have one where you live. I've also recently found a few Sistema containers from Old Navy and they work great - they're a little shallow but work just fine.
Don't worry about jumping in with both feet. I certainly didn't. Just do one thing. Maybe you make a regular sandwich cut in half, but you get out a cookie cutter and cut a piece of cheese to put on top of the sandwich. Even though it seems completely OCD, stacking up the fruit/veg into neat piles or putting them into silicone cupcake liners rather than just a jumbled pile is another thing you can do. Start small! You can do it!
