Alice in Wonderland - White Rabbit

Last week at day care Miss M's class hosted a Mad Hatter's Tea Party. There was a lot of excited build up for the kids & I couldn't help but be inspired & send a week's worth of Wonderland in a Lunchbox. You can see a collection of Pinspiration here.

The first day was White Rabbit day

In the main compartment I sent:
Sausages, cut as rabbits; a rabbit egg; some steamed broccoli
White rabbit ham & cheese sandwich
Green yoghurt with frozen White Rabbit shape
Pepperoni & cheese clock









In the top layer I sent:
Juice
Checkerboard Apple
White Rabbit bottom cake

For more detail on each section please continue reading :-)

I fell in love with this little Egg Rabbit from Eats Amazing and couldn't wait to give it a try. I didn't round off the ears & as a result they sort of flopped a bit. Eyes are black sesame seeds.

It's a bit difficult to see the detail on the sausages, but if you squint you can see the little rabbit eyes & smile.  I used this sausage cutter available from affiliate Bento USA
















We had our usual cheese & ham sandwich. Today it was turned into a white rabbit by using a gingerbread man pancake mould, turned on it's head, arms cut off & rearranged as nose. Details are made from ham off cuts, black sesame seds & sultanas. The glasses are also from affiliate Bento USA.















I added a drop of food colouring to Miss M's yoghurt to turn it green & left her frozen shape as plain vanilla. I can't remember where I got my easter silicon mould from, but I'm pretty sure it was Aldi.

I used a FooDoodler (available from affiliate Neat 2 Eat) to draw some clock hands on cheese to go with crackers & Pepperoni from Walkerston Country Meats.
















Originally I'd planned to send a plain Rabbit bottom cake. . .

Then I thought the bottom would stand out nicer with some colour behind it. . .

So I 'painted the grass green' ;-)

Different sized marshmallows used to create the rabbit, and foot detail with Writing Icing

Do tune in this week for the rest of this series & check out some of the fantastic lunches that inspired me at Bent On Better Lunches Linky Party below.

Cute Z Panda

This was one of those nights when bed time could not roll around fast enough. I made a quick little ham & cheese panda, stamped a face & 'coloured' in the markings with some Vegemite.

I'm sure I could have stayed in the lines a little better, but I didn't hear any complaints from Miss M :-)

Cute Z Spring Kitty

Here's another kitty as requested by Miss M. This time I used some of the off cuts to create bread kebabs on some gorgeous little flower picks from Omai Australia

Cute Z Lion

Every night I ask Miss M what sandwich she would like in her lunchbox & of late she's been getting a little creative.

When she asked for a lion I wasn't quite sure how to create one, and then I remembered my CuteZCute cutter

I used a large circle cutter on some lettuce to create the mane for her ham & cheese sandwich &  some ham cut outs for the face

After taking her to see Madagascar 3 at the cinema last year, every lion has been called Alex, so naturally I had to use some alphabet picks too :-)

Cute Z Bunny

I couldn't decide if I liked the multigrain body, or the white for this little guy. I like how the tail stands out a bit better on this one :-)

Again we have our stock standard ham & cheese sandwich, today I've used some of the facial feature cut outs to create a bunny with a little cotton tail.
