When we were in Ohio, we had some fun making some special kid-friendly meals. Amanda and Shawn were on vacation for part of the time, so they had a huge sleepover at their house one night. The next day for lunch, we had 10 kids to feed, ranging from age 2 to age 10. So we took our inspiration from a pin on Pinterest and made Phineas and Ferb sandwiches.
Candace and Phineas were ham and cheese sandwiches. Ferb was peanut butter and jelly.
Phineas.
Ham and cheese sandwich. Bread cut into triangle for shape of his head. Provolone for the eyeballs and black olives for the pupils. Carrots for the hair. Mouth was just cut open in the bread and slits in the cheese to look like 2 rows of teeth.
Ferb.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Parsley garnish for the hair. Eyes made of cheese and black olive again. Hardest part was just cutting the shape of his head with the nose and mouth - done by Amanda.
Candace.
Ham and cheese sandwich. Bread cut to shape her head. Same eyes as the other two. Colby cheese cut the shape of her hair. Ham cut thinly to make nose and mouth.
The kids loved this! They all sat down and picked their favorite characters, then of course some of them changed their minds based on what kind of sandwich it was. The hour (plus) that it took us to make these was totally worth it when the kids came to the table.
Another night, we had a tea party at Nana and Papa's house. We set the table with all the tiny teacups and dishes that Nana has for the playroom.
Tea party for 4. Mostly finger foods, but the kids loved using the cute toothpicks to eat the melon.
The Menu:
Star shaped hamburgers
Grape tomatoes
Craisins
Melon
Chocolate Cupcakes
and of course Tea (iced)
Eliza sipping her tea.
Audrey
Sage
Isabella.
She doesn't like tea, though she didn't mind this Brisk Iced Tea with Lemon once she tried it.
The girls had so much fun! They loved drinking out of the tiny teacups. The melon balls were a huge hit, and the hamburgers disappeared off of their plates! I still need to get the recipe from my mom (hint hint), then I'll try to remember to post it, because they were delicious!

You are the coolest mom ever. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks, but I have to give most of the credit to my sister and mom. I usually just use cookie cutters to cut the girls' sandwiches and snacks into fun shapes. This was much more involved.
