Valentine's Day DIY Lunchables

 

This is one of my favorite Valentine's projects. I love looking back at Sam's chubby fingers as we worked on this project together...

Do your kids beg for "Lunchables" every time you go the the grocery store...or is it just mine? Here is a tutorial to make your own. For this holiday treat we went with junk food, but for an everyday lunch you can boost the health factor by using ham or turkey, whole wheat goldfish, grapes and chocolate milk.

You will need:

A clean disposable sushi tray or an old Lunchables tray
A small cookie cutter measuring between 1-2"
Cheese
Lunch meat
Crackers
Juice box

Fun Lunch Friday

Like Ebony and Ivory, this pair of Octopi cradle the goldfish in their care. What do you think?

I'm sure you've figured it out, but it's really a hotdog and a mozzerella cheesestick standing in for the octopus couple and the goldfish are played by themselves. Carve little faces in the head of each octopus and your little one will be fascinated.



Hey, it worked for mine and this one's not easily impressed.
