make fun of lunch!

We saw a helicopter in the sky this morning, so that was today’s creative lunch.  A helicopter body is made of a peanut butter sandwich, then baby carrots were positioned for the blades atop the helicopter as well as the feet.  Windows are sliced string cheese and clouds are made of cottage cheese.

House

by

To make this house, make a sandwich and slice to a square shape.  Create a roof out of celery, a door out of strawberry and a raisin doorknob.  The window and the chimney are made of carrot.  The chimney smoke is cottage cheese and the sidewalk is Triscuit crackers.  The little bush outside the house are little sugar snap peas.  Cheese finishes this scene up as the sun.
 
If you have a specifically colored home (like yellow), try to make your own home with cheese, or use celery to make a green house!  Our house is tan, so the sandwich worked for us!

Stopilght

by

This lunch was inspired when, on the way home from the grocery store, my daughter, as is typical, asked what we could make for her creative lunch.  
As we were driving at the time, I began to look around and decided that we could make a stoplight like the one I was approaching.  It was the perfect opportunity to reinforce the girls’ knowledge of what each light means, and why we have stoplights.
To create the post, cut a peanut butter sandwich into thin sections and arrange as shown above.  Next, cut a strawberry, a yellow pepper (banana would work too), and a green grape to similar sizes.  Create the street below by slicing some cheese into thin strips and arrange to form a street.
