Hi folks! I’m super excited today to showcase the selection of the fabulous entries that we received for our Creative Lunchbox Competition. The entries came from all over the globe and it was so tough to choose a winner… So here’s to celebrating creativity in food. I hope that it gives you some inspiration and ideas for how to make meal time at your house a teensy bit more fun!

Our winner is Emmem from Singapore. Andrea {from Kawaii Kids} and I chose Emmem’s whimsical entry “A Trip to the Zoo” as we love both the concept and it’s lovely that this is a design that you can easily make at home without any special tools. Not to mention that it’s sure to appeal to kids young and old with it’s cute animal theme! I hope you enjoy today’s showcase, and THANK YOU to all the lunchbox artists for their delicious creations.

Emmem is Mum to 3 young kids who enjoys food and feeding the family.  She is new to lunchbox creationing and hopes to learn and be inspired by others’ creations too! Emmem says “These boxes give me a chance to expose the fussier kids to new foods in a fun and palatable way.  And did i say it’s a talking point for family bonding!  Certainly a win-win situation!”
