Kids Bento


I was beginning to panic when Y refused to eat anything and was on a milk diet due to sickness for more than 10 days. I saw some cute accessories for Bento making at Daiso one day and I bought these to make something special for him in the hope that he would at least eat some food.     

 
Lunch Boxes, Bread Cutter, Food Dividers, Silicon Penguin and Bear Shaped Jelly Cup, Sauce Bottles

And I was elated when Yuan managed to finish 3/4 of it and K almost finished his and a small bowl of porridge.

What's in the Bento?

Cooking with Toddlers: Pizza Making


My boys love Pizza. I guess this is the power of media. They have been seeing Pizza on books and TV. And they asked for Pizza before they even know how it taste. We brought them to Pasta Mania one day for Pizza and they were so so so happy. Thereafter, they keep asking for Pizza for their meals. We thought it's healthier to have homemade pizza and why not make it with them. So, here we have, our first family cooking activity.

What You Need:
Tortilla Wrap
Ingredients for Pizza (we use Brown Mushrooms, Ham, Bell Pepper)
Tomato Paste 
Cheese

I used Tortilla Wrap as the base. There are ready made frozen pizza crust at supermarkets too or if you are a good cook, you can make your own dough for the base. Cut up all the ingredients and give them to the kids to place on the base. Spread some tomato paste or ready made pasta sauce on the base. Top it with cheese before popping it in the oven.

Nothing to do with Pizza but I just love this shot of Y.

Done!

K, waiting patiently for Daddy to cut up the Pizza.

Tata!

K: "I can't wait!!!"

K: "Yum"

K: "Yum Yum"
