Everyday Bento
The mice eat the cheese and the cats chase the mice! Adding some playful cats and a handful of cute strawberry mice to your bento box makes lunchtime special. A chunk of tasty Swiss cheese riddled with holes helps achieve that classic cartoon effect.

Step 2
To make a strawberry mouse, hull a strawberry and cut it in half lengthwise. Cut two small horizontal slits at the wide end of the strawberry. Insert sliced almonds for the ears. Attach icing eyes under the almonds, using a dab of honey as glue. Finally, cut a small circle from the fruit leather for the nose and attach it near the tip of the strawberry. Repeat this process to make two more mice.
