Chinese New Year Bento Lunch

February 4, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Chinese New Year Bento Lunch

Did you know that 2016 is the year of the Monkey according to the Chinese Zodiac?

The smallest kid and I learned all about China on our recent field trip to Dr.Sun Yat Sen Classical Gardens in Vancouver’s historic Chinatown, and as Chinese New Year is quickly approaching I figured I’d make a Chinese New Year Bento Lunch to celebrate!

The monkey in this bento lunch was created with the Cuddle Palz cutter – such a fun and versatile cutter that can literally make just about anything if you use your imagination! And of  course packed in an Easy Lunch Boxes container.

Chinese New Year Bento Lunch

Monday February 8th, 2016 starts seven days of celebration for Chinese people. Within China, the customs and traditions arund the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely, however one token that is synonymous everywhere with Chinese New Year are the red paper envelopes containing money and are given as a sign of good fortune and wealth.

The Greater Vancouver area is well known for its abundant multiculturalism, in fact – with over 450,000 Chinese people living here in 2011, Vancouver’s become known as the “most Asian city” outside of Asia! As a result of this, there is no shortage of fun festivals and events around town to experience and enjoy!

If you’re looking for something to do in and around Vancouver to celebrate Chinese New Year, check out this list of fun cultural events!

Sometimes life is simply about being in the right Sometimes life is simply about being in the right place at the right time 📍

It was a little bit of both for me today. The amazing weather and warm temperatures called for an early dinner and a walk to the park with all four kids.

A slow shutter finger meant the fun moments from this evening will be saved to my mind camera roll as the big kid says, instead of the iPhone camera roll 💕

Today is #siblingday, who knew?! My brother is se Today is #siblingday, who knew?!

My brother is seven years older than me (and I make a point to remind him of that on the regular!) I always knew I wanted my kids to be closer in age than he and I are, but now having had baby B 11 years after my youngest I now know how much of a gift I was to my brother 🤣🤣

In all seriousness though, happy sibling day big brother!

11 years. 11 years is how long ago I received thi 11 years.

11 years is how long ago I received this Easter dress as an gift from my grandmother for my oldest daughter.

I always knew I wanted more kids, so I hoarded it away with a few of my other favourites in case my dream ever came true. 

Today, baby B donned her big sisters first Easter dress for a pandemic-safe backyard Easter egg hunt. 

I’ve tirelessly searched for a photo of Smalls in the same dress but it’s alluding me. I will find it, so stay tuned for a side-by-side. 

Hope you had a safe and hoppy Easter! 🐰

She’s pissed I wouldn’t let her win! 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those of you that are counting, we’ve now booked two private arcade dates for our family and I’m pretty sure there will be more in our future! 🕹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@industryarcade is just more than a stones throw away from my house, and they’re a true display of how a business can pivot during uncertain times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Located in a warehouse in New Westminster, families can book two hour private rentals of the entire arcade space! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Industry Arcade is mostly pinball machines, but you can find some great retro and not-so-retro games that you will surely kill some time at. They also have Skee Ball which is one of my personal faves and I spent more time than I’m willing to admit attempting the high score for a free beer ticket from @anotherbeerco. I don’t drink, but I’m all for bragging rights! Another time I suppose. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for a change in scenery, I highly recommend booking a private session! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you a pinball fan?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Anyone else get excited over a new lunchbox? 🍱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No? Just me? Ok, nevermind then! 🤦🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picked up this @munchkincanada box the other day because who doesn’t need another lunchbox 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s cute, colorful, and has a soft exterior feel. The clasp is easy to unclip which will be great for increasing toddler independence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today’s lunch contains meatball sticks and @heinz_ca ketchup for dip dip dipping (have you seen my stories of baby B dipping her foods? 🥰), steamed veggies, a heart-shaped hard boiled egg, oranges and blackberries, rice crackers, a @squeazygear smoothie and @preschoice fruit, veggie and oat bar! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can now shop this lunch from the link in bio!
