I struggled a bit on this one. I didn't want to put actual apples in her bento because they'll be eating lots of apples at school this week.So she has:
-Apple straws
-Apple sauce with organic sprinkles
-Fruit shaped fruit snacks
-Nutella sandwich with a cheese apple!
The colors are a little bland but apple colors are a bit bland....
Now hopefully I can get more creative as this apple week goes on!!!
Suggestions would be more than welcome!
I LOVE how you're making lunch thematic with what she's learning! Drive those lessons home, Mama! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Some of them are really hard! Like the last two weeks?! Doctor and Dentists?! FAIL on my part! But I am looking for FIRE and POLICE themed cookie cutters now if anyone has any ideas!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you feel about gummy worms, but if you cut an apple in half with the cut side on the plate you can cut a hole in the apple and poke the end of the gummy worm into it. I have done this and used 1 baby spinach leaf to make an apple leaf (and chrystian even ate the spinach leaf)
ReplyDeleteThat cheese apple really turned out great! Did you use a cookie cutter?
How cute! Taia can't eat gummy worms because of the food coloring but I bet I could find some naturally colored gummy worms!!
ReplyDeleteYup- it took me FOREVER to find one but I finally got one at Jo Ann's. I would've preferred a larger one but couldn't find one.
