Happy Muffin Tin Monday! Lucy and Julia enjoyed their lunch of crackers, lunchmeat, water, yogurt with sprinkles, fresh peaches, cheese letters, and fruit leather. (Actually Julia screamed in dislike until I gave her lunchmeat to Lucy, but that's beside the point...)
The picks are stickers on construction paper with a toothpick sandwiched in between. The girls love having special picks and we always have stickers around so this works well.
The coolest part though, is the cheese letters! I'm in love with this Wilton set of Alphabet and Number Fondant Cut-Outs:
Spelling a child's name, learning letters and numbers, encouraging words, .... so many possibilities! Today I cut the word "love" out of cheese to go with our heart tins. The letters are tiny, so I used a flat toothpick to help push the cheese out of the cutter. Lucy and Julia were impressed and Lucy even read the word herself.
The other day I made fruit leather and the cutters worked with that as well. Check back tomorrow for how to make your own fruit leather, its surprisingly easy.

It was a really wonderful idea. I love the size of the cutters. I have large plastic cookie cutters that don't always cut well into everything I want them too.
ReplyDeleteOh my, would I love these!

ReplyDeleteI would use it for spelling words. Please pick me!!!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if its open to international entries but I would use it for spelling their names out in cheese, toast, apple and even press them into banana skin to make a mark which will show up later (marks go brown after a little while).
ReplyDeleteJust followed you too.
ReplyDeleteHave 'liked' both Wilton and One Little Word She Knew on facebook : )
ReplyDeleteOk, have also shared the giveaway on facebook.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely would work cut with thinly cut fruit. use them as cookie cutters for mini cookies. Use some sort of pastry/tortilla dough for little bite size bread pieces. Use them on home made egg noodles for alphabet vegetable soup! make crackers out of them with some sort of cracker dough. I think that's enough ideas for now. :)

ReplyDeleteVery cute tin! We are starting preschool (homeschool) with my 2 year old this year using the letter of the week curriculum and the letter cutters would be great to use for making snacks to tie into our weekly letter! I'm sure we would find something for my 5 year old as well!

How fun - I would use them probably like you did on the cheese and then would come in handy when I make cakes for foundant.
ReplyDeleteI think the Buddha Bear would get a kick out of alphabet cutters. He loves to play with all of my cookie cutters. So they would be used with food and play.

My daughter is learning her alphabet still, so I would try and do a "Letter-A-Day" thing. Make a bunch of little 'A' sandwiches, cheese, fruit leather, punched out of horizontally-sliced apples, etc one day. Then 'B' the next, and so on. Try and incorporate that letter-shaped foods throughout the day. I could even try and emphasize foods starting with that letter, to work on phonics!
ReplyDeleteneat!
ReplyDeleteI think I would use them for everything! I have some numbers and have used them for birthday parties and plain ole pb and j. Cookies, homeschool? I think so :)

Let's see, I think I'd use them to cut thicker fruit slices and then I'd spear the fruit letters top to bottom to spell a word down the spear. I sure would like to win them!
ReplyDeleteWe just started our homeschool journey (2 preschool girls!) and we would use these to reinforce our Letter of the Week curriculum...breakfast, lunch, snacks, even dinner could be a learning time with the Wilton letter and number cutters! :o)
ReplyDeletemlegrand98@yahoo.com
My son (3) already recognizes his name, his brother's name, my name, his dad's name...so I probably would start spelling out the 100 words that Kindergarteners should know by the end of Kindergarten - as, is, was, were, there, that...etc. Give him a jump start on those! And I never thought to use construction paper and stickers to make picks. What a great idea!! :) Cheaper than buying them!
