After looking at some Sesame Street goods, I wanted to try making Bert.Just make this with whatever you have in your kitchen.If the cheese and carrot are falling off, use mayonnaise to stick them on! Recipe by Mai*Mai

This was for my kid, who's currently obsessed with Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Epic Yarn .If you cut out all of the parts the night before, you only have to put them together in the morning. It's easy. Recipe by Mika mama

When I first saw Kumamon, he reminded me of my recipe for "Black Rilakkuma" so I thought I could probably make it.It's hard for small children to bite through nori seaweed so I would suggest sticking a smaller amount of nori seaweed over the top, if you're serving this to younger folks. Recipe by Kerorabu

Lately Kumamon has become a popular mascot character and you can see many commercial goods popping up everywhere. This was a request from my son.I cut notches into the nori seaweed for my son who can't bite it off.If you do this I think it'll be easy for small children to eat it. Recipe by Nayuka

I was asked to make a panda character bento.If you like to do detailed work, make a lot of small panda rice balls. I think they would look rather cute. Recipe by Miyakicchin

I thought up these guys while making other recipes in the barrel character series.Press on the nori 'faces' after the rice has cooled (they'll shrink if you stick them on while the rice is still hot).Be creative and have fun coming up with your own cute designs.Use a nori punch cutter if you have one. This will make preparing the faces a lot easier. Recipe by annnnn

It's getting colder and I really wanted to create a simple (simple being the main word here) and cute snowman that reflected the season. Somehow this became the top searched recipe in the "snowman" category on my birthday.If you attach the mouth and eyes whilst the rice is still warm they tend to crumple up somewhat. This happened to me a lot. Don't rush, and wait for the rice to cool before sticking them on. If you get any seaweed stuck to the imitation crabmeat, it's really hard to remove, so be careful. Recipe by Pyonmachato

I wanted to make a yellow character bento.Using silly false-looking eyelashes for the eyes will make this look more like the character. Recipe by Minamossan

These are the two main characters from "Youkai-Watch," which my son has been into recently.I tweaked it so it's as easy as possible to make.I used a sewing needle when cutting the sliced cheese. When cutting seaweed paper, overlap it with the stencil and use a cutter knife.Arrange the pieces together by following the stencil image!Place the characters on top of the rice balls after they are cooled off!It's easy if you prepare the characters a day beforehand.
