Muffin Tin Monday - Circus

 
We started our school unit on the letter E and Elephants today, so the theme of Circus at Muffin Tin Monday was perfect! I was at Hobby Lobby a few days ago and found these great Silly Critter Silcone Baking Cups for really cheap, hooray! Since I got them, Kahlen’s been wanting it to be Monday :)

 

Cashews (because elephants like them); M&Ms (just because); Lion made of cheese, carrots, and dried blueberries (Thanks, Michelle!); Peas to feed to the elephant; Elephant made of an english muffin, ham for the tail, ear, and trunk, dried blueberry for the eye, and string cheese for the legs; Dried blueberries for elephant poo ;)

She ended up pretending that everything that she didn’t want to eat (the peas, cashews, some of the carrots, and dried blueberries) into animal poo of some kind, whether it was elephant, lion, or penguin (??) and carrying it around for awhile feeding it to her brother and I. That’s one way to get rid of the food you don’t want ;) “But mommy, poo is yucky! I don’t want to eat that!” Too smart for me, what could I say?
