Easter rabbits and bunny booty bento boxes

My kids have tomorrow off school so I decided to do more fun bunnies before Easter.  The girls have been loving all the extra fun this week.

Bentoriffic's Hatching Bunny bentoPacked in her Easy Lunchboxes container, Miss G has a hatching bunny rabbit.  I used a cookie cutter to cut out the sandwich and placed a piece of dairy free vegan cheese over the top for the “egg” shell.  I used raisins for the eyes, a dried cranberry piece for the nose, fruit leather whiskers and goji berries for the insides of his ears.  To the left of the bunny are cantaloupe carrots with sunflower seed sprouts for the tops on a bed of lettuce.  In the top compartments are an egg shaped kiwi with a few sprinkles for decoration and strawberry hearts with a bunny cupcake ring on top.

Bentoriffic's yogurt & blood orange snackFor her snack, Miss G has So Delicious brand dairy free yogurt again.  This time it’s strawberry with Easter sprinkles on top.  In the top of her Happy Tiffin stainless bento box are organic, local blueberries and local blood orange slices.

Bentoriffic's Bunny Booty bentoThis was from last year’s Easter/Spring blog hop.  Click HERE to see a the awesome Easter lunches from last year’s Bunny Blog Hop.  I did a few lunches, but this was everyone’s favorite.  Who doesn’t like seeing a cute, fuzzy bunny booty?  So I decided to do another one this year.

Bentoriffic's 2013 Bunny booty

Anyone who reads my blog knows that I have been in love with Sweet and Sara brand marshmallows ever since I found them.  My local Whole Foods Market stopped carrying them (for shame!) so I now have to order them from New York for special occasions.  My favorite are the toasted coconut covered ones, and they happen to make a perfect bunny tail.   The sandwich is on whole wheat bread.  I used the heel for the top piece.  I found the clear carrot Easter egg at my local Dollar Tree store and filled it with cashews.  In the top compartments of her Easy Luncboxes container are bunny shaped mango pieces and in the top right are cantaloupe rabbits.

Happy Easter & Passover, everyone!
