Snowflake Breakfast
Celebrate winter, snow, a snow day off school, or just make breakfast fun with snowflake pancakes!
Snowflake pancakes are so easy to create.
Prepare your pancakes, and place one onto the center of a plate.
Next, use an aerosol whipped cream container to “draw” a simple snowflake design as shown above. Make a hexagon around the border of the pancake, and add a three pointed branch coming out of each of the six points.
For a finishing, snowy touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar in the middle.
Serve snowflake pancakes alongside some fresh raspberries or strawberries and a small serving of scrambled eggs for a delightful snow day breakfast the kids will love!
What to do with the rest of the day?
Take a look at some awesome snow day activities to do with your child after breakfast is over! These links are from some of my favorite parenting and education blogs!

Downhill Skier
Do you love skiing? Have you taken a family trip to Colorado to hit the slopes this year? Even if you haven’t gotten to go in person, celebrate the fun of winter sports with this cute little lunch.
Cottage chesse is a favorite in our home. Any lunch with cottage cheese as one of the elements is sure to be gobbled up quickly!
To create this lunch, take a baby carrot and slice it in half lengthwise so it lies flat on the plate. Chop off one of the rounded edges from the bottom. This will be your skier’s body. Next, slice the other half of the carrot you didn’t use for the body into small sticks to serve as the arms and legs. Create the look of bended knees by cutting what would be one leg in half and laying on the plate to look like it is bent.
Take some thinly sliced celery and cut to desired length for skis. Add two small pretzel sticks for the poles.
Now, take a spoon and spread the cottage cheese onto the plate to look like it is sloping upward on one side as a mountain would.
I decided to add a fun touch in the background by using some string cheese for a chair lift. Use a small rounded edge of a carrot for a little guy, and give him one leg (that you are seeing from the side), and one ski.
Give each skier a cap to keep warm. I used turkey breast cut to shape with a little puff of cottage cheese on top.
Your kids will love this protein and fiber filled snack.

Santa Hat Poppers
Ingredients: (6 poppers)
10-15 oz block mozzarella cheese (sliced from a large block)
6 fresh strawberries
6 round crackers (Ritz, Toasteds, etc.)
Directions:
Using a large block of mozzarella cheese from the grocery store, slice 1/8- 1/4 inch slices of cheese. You want the slices to be large enough to be able to punch two hat bases (using 2 inch cookie cutter shown below) out of each slice.
Use a cookie cutter shaped like a flower or a circle (the one shown here is about 2″ wide), and punch out little bases for your Santa hats. A flower has a cute look once the hats are assembled because it looks like fluffy white fur.
Your bases are now ready!
Slice the stem off of your fresh strawberries. Try to use strawberries with a width that would allow you to see your cute little hat base and not cover it up entirely, or look too small on the base you made.
I punched one more “flower” or Santa Hat base out than I needed, and sliced the little round edges into semicircles for the tops of Santa’s Hat.
I love to use the little plastic toothpicks from the dollar store. They are not too sharp, and look adorable to hold these little guys together. Note: Make sure the top semicircle of cheese is thick enough to allow the toothpick to go through without the cheese falling apart. The block mozzarella cheese I used worked great and did not fall apart. I kept my semicircle cheese hat toppers to at least 1 cm thick.
Although the Santa Hats look great and are ready to eat by step 5, I would suggest placing a cracker beneath each one. The saltiness of the cracker tastes great with the cheese, and also the cracker makes for each pick-up from the plate. This part is optional, but that’s my recommendation.
Your Santa Hat Poppers are now complete and ready to put out at your Christmas party or play date! The kids will love them! Mine sure did!
Enjoy!
