JDaniel loves spinach. It is one of his favorite vegetables, but I discovered that he doesn’t like this spinach dip. He ate almost everything else. He loved the mini crackers! He ate a few cucumber shaped trees, and the tomatoes though.
Bento Making Tip: A cookie cutter placed in the Bento box is a great area to hold a thick dip and it can help illustrate the theme of a snack or lunch time meal.

If he is sneaking veggies as a sack I would not complain!! Nothing wrong with that!! I used to “sneak” into my grandparents veggie garden and snack on raw green beans all the time!!! Better that then candy!!
Look at that Christmas tree mold. WHat a great idea to try to get a dip for kids to eat their vegetables. I look “sneaky” ways to get vegis in! They are so important to our little ones growth!
That is too cute! I love the dip but I think maybe my daughter would like ranch instead. She loves veggies and crackers and I’m sure she’d have fun with this.
That is SO cute!!!
That is very cute, and I believe I have the same cookie cutter, so I may be doing something similar! Love it
love the idea of using the cookie cutter to hold the dip – very clever!
What a great idea. I too love trying to sneak veggies in where ever/whenever I can and sometimes I’m very successful, sometimes I am not but try and try again, right? And cheese on top always helps. Thanks for sharing!!!
Awww this one is so awesome! So cute!
I love the way you have the spinach dip in the Christmas tree mold, what a great idea!
Well that is just adoreable. This would be cute doing them on a small plate at the table too.
I would like that dip!
This is a really great idea! My daughter loves bento type lunches.
Love the cucumber trees and your cookie cutter idea to hold dips…shall try that for my girls! I keep trying to get them to eat tomatoes and cucumber by helping pick them in the garden but no luck yet..glad your little one tries them at least!
I love your Christmas tree snack bento! I didn’t realize the tree in the bottom section was a cookie cutter; I thought it was a silicone cup…until I got to the end of your post and read the last sentence. 😛 That’s a great tip!! 🙂
What a neat idea! It’s healthy and festive and fun! I should try something like that with my son… so hard to make him eat his veggies!
That’s such a great idea!! I love seeing your Bentos!! I can’t believe he doesn’t like Spinach Dip. That’s just not… normal!! :)))))

That is pure genius. What a great idea!
I love this idea! Wish I had thought of it when my girls were little. I will definitely pass it on to my friends with small children. Most clever!
I’m so surprised that he likes spinach! That’s great though. Maybe he’ll like the dip when he gets a bit older.
So cute!
You do great bentos!
What a great snack – I love it!
I want that snack! YUM!!!!
first of all, I REALLY want spinach dip now… and second of all, never thought about using the cookie cutter IN the bento…
thanks
What a great idea! I love the cookie cutter dip holder. x
Yummy, I love the Christmas tree dip holder. So cute! I am featuring it in a round-up of Christmas Tree themed ideas from the kids co-op at housingaforest.com
Cute and looks simple unlike so many bentos I see!
