Kids will love an adorable bear cub made from brown bread, peanut butter and jelly nestled on a bed of blueberries.

Create building bricks from healthy cheese, carrots and cucumbers—or a hot dog octopus, swimming across a sea of cucumber. Picky eaters or not, they'll try it.
In Everyday Bento, author Wendy Thorpe Copley takes the traditional Japanese concept of bento—a single meal packed at home in a reusable container—and Americanizes it.
