I kept it simple: a Pooh bear face on a bed of rice, some hard-boiled eggs, and a few snacks tucked into his little bento box. The color theme accidentally ended up looking very "hundred-acre wood" with all the yellows and oranges. 🍯

It's definitely not one of those super intricate character bentos I see online, but my son immediately said, "Pooh Bear!" the moment he opened it, and honestly, that's all the validation I needed. 😭❤️

Making cute lunches has become one of my favorite ways to show love, even if I'm still learning and my character designs are far from perfect.

My 4-year-old son is currently in his full-on Spider-Man era, so I decided to surprise him with a Spider-Man-themed bento for lunch today. 🕸️

The Spider-Man mask on the rice definitely took longer than I expected, and it's far from perfect, but seeing the whole thing come together made it worth the effort. The little spider detail ended up being my favorite part!
I'm still pretty new to making character bentos, so there were a few moments where I thought, "Yep, I've completely ruined this," but somehow it turned out okay in the end. 😅

Most importantly, my son immediately recognized Spider-Man, which I guess means it's a success!
I'd love to hear what everyone thinks and any tips for making character bentos cleaner and more detailed. Thanks for looking! 🕷️🍱❤️
