Alphabet Inspired Week: B

This week we are continuing our Alphabet inspired lunches and I not only tried to incorporate words or shapes that began with B but also foods that began with B throughout the week.



Day 1: B=Butterfly

Main Compartment:  one Peanut butter butterfly sandwich and one sun seed butter butterfly sandwich on a bed of corn chips.
Top Right: a few chocolate covered pretzels, and baby carrots in a mini silicone cup.
Bottom Right: Cantaloupe and Pineapple chunks with a yellow and pink butterfly pick.





Day 2: B= Boy, Balloon and Bat

Main Compartment: two ham boys stuck together cut using a clay cutter. Salami and cheese balloons tied with Parmesan cheese strings pulling the boy off the ground. I also used a single Parmesan string for his belt. Top Right: a few chocolate covered pretzels, and baby carrots in a mini silicone cup because it went well the day before.
Bottom Right: Cantaloupe and Pineapple chunks with a left over Halloween Bat pick.




Day 3: B= Bear, Broccoli and Blue

Main Compartment: One Cheese pizza bear cut with a cookie cutter, and a pepperoni pizza bear cut with the same cookie cutter, and a new bathtub squirting bear toy for use later.
Top Right: Smaller Mango bears - slices of mango were cut using a smaller bear cookie cutter.
Bottom Right: Broccoli Slaw - Cole slaw made with broccoli shreds instead of cabbage, and a silicone cup of blue M&M's.


Because today was bears and blue we also used a new fizzy tub color tablet to make Little S's bath super blue (we used 2 tablets) and gave him the new bathtub bear.

Day 4: B= Bumble Bee, Bread stick, Broccoli, Banana and Blueberry (It's a day of B's)
Everything in his lunch today is a B word.

Main Compartment: two ham Bumble bees cut with a cookie cutter and a Bread stick (Olive garden left over) cut to size.
Top Right:Broccoli Slaw - Cole slaw made with broccoli shreds instead of cabbage with a Bumble Bee pick.
Bottom Right: Sliced banana and blueberry salad - I liked this because it also fit the color scheme of a bumble bee with the contrasting colors.




Day 5 B= Boot, Berries and Blueberries

Main Compartment: Peanut butter sandwich cut into the shape of a cowboy boot using a cookie cutter, and a magnetic letter B for the refrigerator for learning about B for the week.
Top Right: Blueberries (hands down his favorite food) with a Halloween Witch's Boot pick.
Bottom Right: Popcorn coated in Acai Berry, Blueberry and Raspberry powder and drizzled with Greek yogurt.
