Cross-eyed Owl

Here we have a rather cross-eyed bird that kind of looks like an owl, so we'll go ahead and call him Mr Cross-Eyed owl. A lot of detail in this lunchbox - notice the tree branch that the owl is perched on, and the star in the night sky. Not quite sure what the butterfly is doing there - do they come out at night? Maybe this one is a bit of a, wait for it, night owl.

Cross-eyed Owl

How to

• If you have been following this blog, you'll know the basics: butter/margarine/spread to get the bits to stick together, and the black stuff is hand-cut seaweed.
• The owl body is cut using a heart-shaped mold. If you don't have one, a circle mold would work too.
• Use the crust for the wings and the little horn ears.
• For the beak, cut the tip of a carrot. Good way to get your kid to eat a little bit of veggie.
• Don't throw away the carrot yet - you need them for the little feet.

• Girl: Hoot hoot!
• Boy: It's an owl. (He said this with a very confident look on his face.)
• Dad: It's ... an owl, right? Or some kind of bird? What's wrong with his eyes?
