Roar-iffic Lunch

I am on a “simple with a twist” theme. Can you tell? Baby #3 is coming in a couple months, so I’m trying to keep things interesting in very simple ways.

My two girls have been very picky for meal time. I had some success this week making them a “roar-iffic lunch.” They really like lions and making lion sounds, so I decided to make their lunch food into a lion.

They loved it!

I just changed the look of the same foods I have been offering them to make it a new experience. Here is their lion lunch:

Frozen waffle with butter, blueberry smile, cheese mane, freeze dried strawberry ears and nose, raisin eyes.

The silly lion faces made lunch fun. We also talked about the different parts of the face (eyes, ears, nose, mouth), which made it a fun learning experience.

There are so many little things we can change in small ways that make a big different with our kids. This lunch was fun for me to make and fun for the girls to eat.

How do you keep things exciting for your kids in simple ways?
