Letter of the week- B: fun food


This was my first week making cute lunches for Bailey. I have to say that I had fun, she LOVED them and usually ate everything on her plate and asked for more. I'm a new convert of the cute food movement. They say you eat with your eyes first and I believe it. Here are some of our ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Everything I did here was just with basic cookie cutters, knives, and sprinkles for details. I want to get more fun stuff later down the line but it will have to be a gradual process. Who says kids shouldn't play with their food?!

Bird standing on berries. I wanted to make a branch out of something but Eli was waking up and Bailey was demanding food so they just got thrown into silicone baking cups. :)

Berries and bananas fruit kabob. This was part of a snack and she went crazy for it. This just shows how a different presentation makes all the difference. I wouldn't advise it for itty bitty guys though.
Bear sandwich. I had other sides too but they didn't make it into the picture. This was a rushed day.

Bunny sandwich with carrots and ranch dip. Teeth were string cheese.
