Possum Magic Lunches

Well it has been an age since I've posted here properly and I think I've figure out how to make the most of the technology at my hands now.… I *think* ;)

Tomorrow is Mayflower's first day at kindy and in between my happy dance I made these 3 Possum Magic inspired lunches for the girls.

Sandwich with FooDoodler Hush sliding down a kangaroo's back, made with a sandwich stamp and star cookie cutter. Some star sprinkles added and stuck with butter.

Mango...yum

Lamington roll and mini meringue kisses

Last minute addition of pasta salad to go with some carrot and cucumber

I was really happy with how the star sprinkles worked in the big girls wraps

Miss M has same same as Mayflower with cucumber ad milk popper in the compartment not pictured from her Nude Food Movers

And Honey chose to keep her Sistema Quaddie again this year. Same same packing wise.

Belated Happy Australia Day!!

Evee Sandwiches

Honey has been on a Pokemon bender of late and Evee is one of her favourites! As requested, I made her a sandwich with each of the evolutions featured. These were all done with food pens and the app Camera-Lucida :)

I'm sure I made an Umbreon as well, but must not have taken a photo - oops!

Love your lunch!!

Sandwiches that make the cut!

Cookie cutters can cut sandwiches too! 

For B's 2nd birthday three years ago, I did a teddy bears picnic birthday party! I cut sandwiches with bear shaped cookie cutters. The kids loved them! I didn't take photos of the bear sandwiches at the time (I had no premonition of this blog), but I did take a photo of the food on the table and look how few sandwiches are left and how the other food is virtually untouched!

I just need to remember that it doesn't have to be a party for me to cut sandwiches into fun shapes. I'm going to keep my cookie cutters right near the bread from now on. In fact I could give the kids the task of cutting their own sandwiches (and hence avoid disappointment over shape selection).

Last Preppy Lunch for the Year!

I can hardly believe Miss M's time in Prep has come to an end! As always I'm left wondering where the year has gone!

Wishing you and yours a safe & happy Festive season!

Christmas Lunch Round Up

Both the girls got Santa bellies today, inspired by a beautiful bauble I picked up at the local Christmas Markets

Love heart Santa <3

Honey asked for a Santa Pirate. . . as you do!

Room on the Broom Christmas lunch.

The Grinch inspired simple lunch

And a pirate for Miss M's Pirate Day at school. There was also a large morning tea/picnic with families this day, hence the skimpy lunchbox.

The Very Cranky Bear Lunch

Honey loves her Very Cranky Bear books so I made her lunch about it.

Moose was made with cheese, sultanas and a cheerio; lion was nori and a corn cob; sheep CuteZCute egg mould; zebra from a banana and Bear a CuteZCute sandwich with FooDoodlers. She also had a bag of animal biscuits for snack, mandarin flower and yoghurt.

All in our Nude Food Movers.

Lost Daycare Lunches

I must admit that poor honey's lunches have been a little on the boring side. She gets a pretty sandwich but then the rest of it is pretty well tossed together.

Here's some of the Nude Food Movers Rubbish Free Lunchboxes she's been taking.

Nude Cars Lunch

I apologies for being a little absent of late - has it really been a fortnight since I posted a lunch? Life has gotten a bit busy and while I am still creating fun lunches for the girls, and occasionally for myself, publishing them has fallen lower on my list of priorities.

This one is from *ages* ago! Apple cars, bikkies with dip in the silicon mould, sandwich and yoghurt pouch below. The sandwich was cut with the CuteZCute cutter.

Flutterbat Lunch

One of Miss M's favourite episodes of My Little Pony right now is the Flutterbat episode. I made this lunch in the lead up to Halloween, but Friday the 13th seemed just as appropriate to share :-)

The same week I also made an Apple Jack lunch for her, with most of the same ingredients.

Many Dino Lunches

 I love my Dinosaur sandwich cutter! It's so easy to make a 'cheat' lunch! I just add my Dinosaur muffin cup, a pick and some store bought biscuits and I'm done!

Gotta love a cute pick!

Here are some other Dino-Lunches the girls have been taking
