3. Prepare cut-outs; slice a handful of cotton candy grapes into rounds and place into the main compartment of the lunch box. Using about 4 whole strawberries, slice each one in half and then use a flower cut-out to make 8 strawberry flowers. Peel and slice a cutie orange into rounds. Cut a celery stick to form about 6 quarter inch pieces.
