These cute snacks are inspired by Japanese bento boxes. We came up with them as fun ways to help curb kids' appetites after school and before dinner – not to mention put a smile on their faces.

Ingredients
- 3 radishes
Method
Step 1
Take a radish and trim off the stalk. Use a knife to score a cut all round the radish, about 5mm deep and a third of the way down from the trimmed end.Step 2
With the trimmed end facing upwards, make four vertical cuts down to your scored line, to create a square ‘stem’. Then trim off the four corners of the square to make a rounded shape – this is the finished stem.Step 3
To decorate the mushroom, trim off the root, then use a knife to carefully scrape out small circles from the radish skin and flesh, as if removing an eye from a potato.
