Kids can be extremely picky eaters. Parents can slave away at a meal but if it doesn’t look pleasing to the eye, some kids just won’t eat it. No matter how delicious the meal might actually might be, they simply refuse, over and over again.

Etoni Mama has three daughters — 7, 9, and 11-years-old. Thus, you can imagine the uphill battle she likely faces when trying to get her children to eat certain meals. But Mama has a gift. She is very creative and artsy.

Though she has no prior training in cooking, she makes some of the neatest kyaraben that you might ever see. To clarify, kyaraben is also known as character bento. Kyaraben is a Japanese lunchbox food style. It features meals that are made to look like people, pop culture characters, plants, and animals.

At the encouragement of a coworker, Mama began to showcase her meals online. Needless to say, she is super talented and she became an online success. Her Instagram currently has over 105,000 followers. She even wrote a cookbook!

Check out 12 of her awesome creations below!

1) Winnie, Winnie

It’s hard to go wrong with Winnie! This dish not only looks cool, but it probably tastes amazing! The asparagus alone looks so fresh! The only problem is, Winnie looks so adorable, who would want to eat him?

2) Boiled eggs

Maybe we should start asking to have our eggs boiled. But only if they come out like this. Who wouldn’t want to be protected by their breakfast? Maybe they’ll even put on a show. We must say, the spoons really take this piece over the top!

3) Fascinating

The way Mama was able to utilize Mulan’s “hair” in this dish is simply remarkable. The black looks amazing. In contrast to the colorful fruits and vegetables, this dish could probably win an award. It’s a good thing that she takes photos of her work.

4) Nightmares everywhere

They’re even on the plate now! The details here are very impressive. Just look at those fine lines and the details of Jack Skellington. Personally, the bacon could use some more time in the skillet though. Otherwise, it could lead to some nightmares!

5) Pikachu!

How do her kids eat these things?! They’re far too adorable to put a fork in. Perhaps they don’t look at the character before diving in? Yeah, that’s it. I hope…

6) Charlie’s here!

It wouldn’t be complete without adding Charlie Brown into the mix! I wonder what was used for the clothing? It looks so perfect. The red dots as the blush is a nice touch and makes this even cuter.

7) Cuteness overload

How perfect! It’d be a little difficult to pop these cuties into your mouth, wouldn’t it? No? Well, at least some of us have a heart! I’d like to adopt one, please.

8) A balanced breakfast

Now, this looks like a healthy and balanced meal. Not too sure if that is coffee since the meal is for children. Perhaps it’s hot cocoa. Either way, it definitely doesn’t take away from the sweetness in this photo.

9) They’re back!

Just looks at these little rice cups. This dish looks delectable as well. How are the eggs cooked perfectly every time?! That is a question that hopefully is revealed in the cookbook!

10) Oink oink!

Wow! Mama has an incredible sense of imagination and is very resourceful. This looks so yummy! Is she done putting all of our breakfast attempts to shame yet?

11) Let the good times roll

Get a load of this dish! Not too sure what it is but it looks stunning! The colors are so bright and everything looks so good!

12) End on a high note

Of course, it has to end where it began. Another Winnie the Pooh dish. The bees are simply perfect.
