Madagascar Penguin Bento

So, I had this goofy idea to make a Madagascar penguin charaben for the kids. It took a few tries to arrive at a character that resembles a penguin. This little fellow was created using banana slices and blueberries. The feet and bill are carrot bits, and he's brought to life with little candy googly eyes.


The kids had fun with this one, as you can see from only seconds later.


As I mentioned, it took a few attempts to arrive at the penguin. My first effort involved mini marshmallows, and it didn't quite get there, as you can see below. So, it's best that I tried again and was able to create a healthier version anyway.


But, my little guy didn't mind the bento blooper. He loves those little candy googly eyes!



Happy Bento'ing!
