Today’s bento is a bagel owl made from a Bagel Thin filled with cream cheese and sliced strawberries. I love these bagel thins because they are the perfect size for a sandwich box! For the owl’s eyes I used whole grain bread, Swiss cheese, and olives, and finished him with a strawberry for his beak. I filled the rest of the container with grapes, sliced star fruit, and more strawberries.
Stay tuned because within a week I will have a contest for a $30 gift certificate from CSNStores.com up for grabs! Just in time for some back-to-school shopping! 
He is so cute!!! I’d love my breakfast to be so cute (hard to make a cup of coffee “cute”). ;o)
Thanks Shannon!
LOL, I’m the same and need my coffee in the morning.
Absolutely cute!!!
Thanks tona-mama!

What a cute owl!!!
How do you make that cross on the olive???
Looked so much like a button being sewn on!
Thanks Angeleyes!
the bottom of a pitted olive looks like that. I try to look for the ones that are cut nicely. 
The bagel owl is so adorable! Love his strawberry nose. Eyes are perfect too … You have so many cute ideas and we love to see them
Thanks Lia!
How did make such perfect marks on the olives? I love it! Another winner idea!
Thank you EIleen!
The bottom of a pitted olive comes like that, so I just had to find a nicely cut one. 
Ow…so cute! I love the eyes that looks like being hypnotized! Hahaha….
Thanks KidsDreamWork!
My little girl will eat this happily and probably everything including things that she don’t usually eat, like the olives! This is super kawaii. Had been having trouble coming up with bagel bento idea until now!!! You are the savior and the “bestest”!

What a cutie! I’m beginning to really love owls. I’ve never seen a bagel thin so can only imagine they’re quite flat? I love the eyes on this owl! And the filling sounds so yummy!
Thanks Chantale!
The bagel thins are pretty flat and fit perfectly into a sandwich box. Love, love, love the minions that you did!
I’m going to have to look for bagel thins, I’ve never seen them before. That owl is so cool! He has so much personality, I love the eyes!
