Lilly Bean Play Food, Bento Box

Your imagination is a fantastic way to travel. As a five year old however there are a few obstacles that prevent you from hopping on plane or a train or a ship to see the world on your own, but your mind can take you wherever you want to go. To get you started on your global adventures Lilly Bean offers up a culinary passport to Japan with your very own bento box.

A word to the adults:

Think of a bento as a special lunch box with compartments for all your favorite foods. Packed in a three-piece stacking bentwood bento box, Lilly Bean is serving up a special Japanese felt meal guaranteed to put a smile on your face, and maybe even make you giggle. With beautiful workmanship and a healthy dose of humor, this play food set will become a favorite in your little chef's kitchen. Your delicious bento box meal contains:

• two pieces of California roll sushi,
• one piece of salmon nigiri sushi,
• one piece of shrimp nigiri sushi,
• seaweed salad,
• three cucumber slices,
• one sweet strawberry.

We debated whether or not to include a pair of chopsticks and decided it best to leave that to the discretion of the gift-giving adult. One thing we love about these sturdy wool felt treats is that they're washable! - and arrive with easy cleaning instructions. The kitchen is open - come and get it!
