How to Make a Cow Bento Lunch Box

These cuddly cows are made of rice balls. To make, form freshly-cooked Japanese rice into balls (wet your hands with water to prevent sticking) -- make a dent in the middle and fill with anything your kids likes, like mashed black beans. Wrap the rice over the filling to completely cover.

Antichoking warning: Remember to remove toothpicks and cut up blueberries, grapes, carrots and other food for children under 4. See our Antichoking guide for more information.
