Frolicking Fall Faces

I love Portland in the fall! I am use to cold, windy Septembers, bundling up our homes and preparing for a long winter. And here we are enjoying the beautiful warm sun! We have been riding bikes to school in this lovely weather! I feel so great and the kids love it.

Rice smiley faces made with rice molds, and nori with the nori face punches. Included in the lunch are peanuts in the shell, cashews, dried mango and cut apples. 

New package in the mail!

I have been wishing for nori punches for some time, and since it was the beginning of the school year, I splurged and bought a little back to school present for me!

The mailman came by yesterday and my little one tore open the package to find these three little punches, so much excitement. 

I was excited to have these face punches so I just made... well, rice balls with faces. 

Sides of apple, carrot, seaweed or raisins, and cashews. 

Later, little one decided she wanted to try them out and decorate her dried pineapple. 

Can't wait to come up with more fun creations I can do with these!
