So I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or ideas on what to buy for these? I know this wont be an every day things because we do eat mac & cheese, chicken nugs & french fries, ect.
Please ignore the old muffin tin, its old. I used left over Elmo liners. This weekend I'll go to the store to get a couple cute silicon ones and silicon cups.
I hope to continue this every Monday (minus this upcoming one).

Love it! I have done this in the past when we take the kids on outings and stuff. 6 silcone muffin tins fit perfectly in the organge Sterlite containers I have ( you know the ones Justin MAKES! LOL)
ReplyDeleteLol, I was pretty sure you have done this. I think its a great idea, plus Logan never eats lunch fully so maybe he will start.
ReplyDeleteI've done this too! its super fun n easy! I go to the dollar tree for stuff! :) below it the min tin for a dollar in stores online is for bulk. but they do rust so be careful.

they have lots of good snacks for a dollar there too. You can also put jello cups, pudding cups n other cups right into the muffin tin n u don't have to empty them out so easy clean up. I also get cookie cutters there too n I cut the bread into shapes n make a sandwich from it. Sometimes I do bento type lunches where u cut the fruit n other stuff into shapes you can Google bento n get a bunch of stuff n blogs too. its so fun what u can do with food for little ones! I love it! :) plus it helps with sizes what to give them cuz the muffin tin cups are one cup each. :)
have fun! :P
Thanks Karin, I will go look! I probably wont do many of the themes and cutting. I love the idea of it but I probably wont have the paitents to cut everything. Lol. But I will give it a try. L-Murph actually ate everything. So I think its a plus to lunch time!
