make fun of lunch!

Graduation Day

by

For my daughter Grace’s preschool graduation day lunch, I used toast with blackberry jam to make a graduation cap.  A piece of string cheese cut in half lengthwise became the tassels and the diploma.  Diploma is tied with a slice of green onion (which Grace of course did not eat).  Watermelon on the side completed this lunch.

David and Goliath

by

David and Goliath:  their bodies are made of celery.  David’s sling is made of ham with a grape half for a stone.  Their heads are made of Ritz crackers, raisin eyes, and carrots for mouths.  The Sun is made of a banana, and Goliath’s sword is made of a carrot.
Read the story of David and Goliath together (1 Samuel 17).  I love this Bible for preschool aged kids.
Create this lunch, and talk about how David must have felt going up against the giant.  
Thank God for saving His people, the Israelites, through such a miraculous victory.  Enjoy!

Snowman

by

Who’s ready for a fun winter edible craft?  Today we are making a cottage cheese snowman.  I can’t think of a better way to get the kids to eat cottage cheese than making it into a little snowman!
Snowman edible craft | Creative Kid Snacks

Ingredients:

1/2 – 3/4 cup cottage cheese
raisins (4-5)
1/2 a baby carrot
2 celery sticks
Scoop the cottage cheese onto the plate with a small spoon into three circles.  Slice your baby carrot in half and add for his nose.  Place his eyes and buttons on, and finish with arms.  Done!
This guy was one of the first creative snacks ever created.  You can’t get much healthier than this for a festive winter snack!
 

Variations:

Use pretzels for his arms to look more like sticks
Use yogurt for his body
Use blueberries for his buttons
