fun food friday: a lucky lunch

Pin It
funfood34


Here's a really fun lunch for St. Patrick's day. This was really easy to put together and the kids really enjoyed it. I put a few treats in this lunch, and was surprised when the kids ate the healthy stuff first and didn't even touch the rainbow belt candy. That doesn't usually happen! Here's how to make this lunch:

Lephrechaun sandwich - chicken sandwich cut into circle - green apple cut into hat shape with a yellow sprinkle - icing eyes and food marker smile - matchstick carrot beard and hair

Vanilla yogurt with a rainbow belt, rainbow covered sunflower seeds and a pot o' gold (banana coins).

    Becky - I got the food safe markers at Walmart in the cake decorating section. I got the icing eyes at my dollar store in Canada. You can probably find them on Amazon.
