Itโ€™s photographs of lunches prepared by a bloke who calls himself Lunch Box Dad

Beau Coffron is a father of three who turns slices of bread, pasta, bananas, berries and broccoli into scenes from Minions, or characters from Shrek.

Beau tells the Unilad website that he started experimenting โ€œas a way to show his daughter that he was thinking of her when she started kindergartenโ€.

โ€œAll the lunches have been inspired by what my kids are watching and reading,โ€ he says.

โ€œWhen they get really interested in a topic, I design a lunch around it. It has helped me to really pay attention to what theyโ€™re into. I figure you have to make your child a lunch anyway โ€” why not spend 20 minutes or so more and make it a fun memory?โ€
