Kirsten has been asking us for a pet. Her best friend at daycare has a fish, so Kirsten thinks she would like one too. I'm not so sure. Cleaning fish bowls is just not something I want to add to my daily activities right now. I decided to make her a lunch with "fish" instead. The kids really loved it and ate up every bite. Here's how I made it:
Fish - chicken sandwiches cut with a fish cookie cutter - cheese stripes and icing eyes.
Celery grass in the water, bluberry bubbles and red raspberry rocks.
Adorable and easy!

That looks great- I'm doing a fish themed birthday for Simon (3 months from now) and I totally want to try to use this idea!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy all of your cookie cutters- I just cannot find the variety here.
That's it - you must come and make lunches for our children! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou must make a book Jill with all of your lunches and little treats. They are beyond precious and mom's across America will have fun trying to recreate them!
Hugs and thanks for always making me smile! :-)
Oh Jill, this is so adorable. I have to tell you, I look forward to your posts in my reader everyday!!
ReplyDeleteToo cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I adore your Fun Food Fridays.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. It amazes me how you keep coming up with such great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI think this one may be my favorite fun food!! Great work!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, Jill - and much cleaner than a real fish. One question though ... do you ever let the kids eat the candy eyes you put on all the fun foods? You seem to have an endless supply. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your fun food on Friday's! So many clever ideas you have. Congratulations on being a guest at U-Create, I just checked it out and love the bowling idea. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
ReplyDeletehow cute. love your food art.
ReplyDeleteThank-you ladies! I really liked this one too.
ReplyDeleteLila - do you have a bulk barn near you? That's where I got this fish cutter and a lot of my other cutters too.
Jen - yes I let them eat the eyes. I actually have a lot of them. I went to the dollar store last week and found the same cookie cutter sets with the icing eyes that I bought last year. I picked myself up 4 more packages. I have lots of eyes now!
Wow, this lunch is really cute! I'm always amazed at the creative food ideas you come up with each week. I've included your post on my weekly favorites here: http://play2grow.blogspot.com/2011/02/weekly-favorites-for-february-27-2011.html
