Panda-Inspired Bento Accessories

These Panda Rice Molds Will Melt Their Way into Your Belly

Creative Japanese brand Bento Box has created an incredibly cute and irresistible molding kit called the ‘Baby Panda Nori and Seaweed cutter set’. The kit is the perfect mix of fun and nutrition, custom-made for hard-to-please kids or even adults who enjoy a touch of whimsy with their lunch.

The kit allows you to create your own 3D panda made from rice and nori (Japanese for seaweed). To create the tiny pandas, users simply scoop the cooked rice in the panda rice mold, seaweed is placed onto a silicon cutter and can be used to decorate the balls of rice to make them appear like cute, tiny pandas. Let alone kids, but even adults aren't going to be able to resist eating these intensely cute creations.
