This is so well timed! My little guy’s in camp & I’m running out of ideas for him. Thanks!
Anyone know where to find the bright purple muffin cups pictured in the smiley face sandwich bento box picture? I have regular silicone muffin cups, but they aren’t as big and they don’t smush well. I really like how she can wedge the purple cup into a corner/irregular shape.
