House

July 25, 2012 by Amy Hudson

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!

Jesus on the Cross

July 7, 2012 by Amy Hudson

 
Made on Good Friday, Jesus is made out of a baby carrot.  The main body lies flat because the carrot was sliced in half.  Jesus’ eyes are tiny bits of raisin, his crown of thorns – pretzels, and the cross is a peanut butter sandwich cut into the right shape.  The hill is made of banana.
Grace (age 4) actually asked me to make this one as we had talked all day that day about what Good Friday was about.  To her, this was not morbid or disturbing in any way; rather, it was a beautiful reminder of the amazing love that God had for us sending His son Jesus to die for us in this way.  It was the love of our savior in the form of our lunch.

Mr. Peacock

July 5, 2012 by Amy Hudson

Mr. Peacock was so fun to make.  The best part is that you can make a colorful tail out of any colorful fruits or veggies you have on hand.  Mine has a body made from a peanut butter sandwich, legs and feet of carrot, and a tail made of celery, bananas, carrots, and blueberries.

Musical Lunch

July 4, 2012 by Amy Hudson

Does your child play a musical instrument?  Why not create a lunch to celebrate an upcoming recital or an extra practice session!
This guitar is made of a turkey sandwich.  The strings are carrots, and the musical notes are grapes.  Blueberries add the bit of dark contrast color around the strings.

David and Goliath

July 1, 2012 by Amy Hudson

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

June 13, 2012 by Amy Hudson

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
