Muffin Tin Monday - Apples


Is it Monday again already? We had a busy day, but I still managed to pull off a muffin tin lunch. The girls have so much fun with this that I couldn't let it slide. We are going apple picking on Friday, so the apple theme was perfect.


Our tins had apples with peanut butter for dipping, bread and cheese apples and leaves (this was a matching game, match the bread with the same shape cheese), and trees and apples with ranch for dipping (broccoli and small tomatoes). I know, I always do shape cheese, but I couldn't make peanut butter sandwiches since we already had peanut butter for dipping the apples in... oh well. The girls ate most of their lunches; Julia refuses to try tomatoes and doesn't like the broccoli but I put it in her tin anyway, just in case.

Quick blog update: I posted the final part of my series "What's In My Water?" tonight, including a discount code for the water filtration system we've chosen. The Fundana giveaway closes tomorrow night- if you aren't chosen as the winner, check out this post with a great discount on these super cool nature study tools. Along with another recent series I've been doing on nature studies, A Toy Garden is giving away a nature bingo game, check that out here. Check back for more reviews, giveaways, and fun posts coming up soon. Thanks for stopping by!

  6. Heather, I have some of the little Wilton mini cookie cutter sets that I use for the cheese shapes. You can find them at Hobby Lobby, etc for around $2.99. They make an animal set, the fall set, and more. :)
