Muffin Tin Monday: Animal Food Muffin Tin and Homemade Picks

For this week's Muffin Tin Meal, I decided to do an Animal food theme.  I picked different foods we had around the house that animals like to eat.  Then, I made some homemade animal picks, and let Maggie match up the animal picks with the foods they eat.

Making the homemade picks was easy.  I doodled little animal drawings, then cut them out.  Then I taped them flat against a toothpick.  After I drew a little rabbit and chicken, I realized I had rabbit and chick picks leftover from one of our Easter muffin tin meals, so we used those instead.

Our Animal Foods muffin tin meal consisted of:

• Honey and peanut butter sandwich (Winnie-the-Pooh)
• Cheese cubes (mouse)
• Corn (chick)
• Peanuts (elephant)
• Carrot sticks (rabbit)

She ate everything but half of the sandwich. I am very happy I was able to get her to eat the cheese cubes.

The elephant pick threw her off.  I guess I can't blame her.  The last time we were at the zoo she fed bananas to an elephant and there were no bananas in her muffin tin.
