Today is one of those days where I fulfill my "I make no promises," approach. We had a playgroup this morning, the kids were incredibly grumpy - and mommy included, so I rushed lunch preparation so I could get Thing 2 down for a nap as quickly as possible. Therefore, the sandwiches and apples are super sloppy - they still ate well though. And again, it is about presentation to the kids, not an award show.
I got this idea from Cute Food For Kids where she shows you how to do a turkey sandwich. Cute Food For Kids is also a great site with lots of fun pictures from all different sites and great ideas for just about everything. For this particular sandwich, I did shred up some deli meat and stick it under the small circle too. My kids wouldn't be happy with just cheese. But you can always modify these things. That's what makes it so much fun.
Plated Lunch:
- Ham and cheese sandwich made like a turkey. The link to the pieces and instructions are above. My food marker did not work well on the dots for the eyes. I believe that is mostly due to the oils in the cheese, but I tried.
- Apple slice made like a feather
- Two pretzel sticks with strawberry slices on them (like arrows)
- Pumpkin mellowcreme for dessert. Too much sugar from yesterday, so I cut down today.
Bento Version:
- Ham and cheese sandwich made like a turkey. The link to the pieces and instructions are above.
- Strawberry slices, apple feather slice
- Teddy Grahams. You could almost dress these guys like little pilgrims. (*hmmmm...)
Thanks so much for visiting!
