Muffin Tin Monday- Lunch for Little Bear

My kiddos are 
psychotically obsessed 
in L-O-V-E 
with 
Little Bear!
Stories by Else Holmelund Minarik

So with our new Bear Silicone Cups, our theme for Muffin Tin Monday was
Lunch for Little Bear!

 A peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich cut with our star sandwich cutter-
Apples cut with our new animal bear cutter-
"A fishing rod" (a licorice string and a straw) with a "salmon" (cheese slice)-
The "moon" (Babybel Cheese)-
Blueberries

TRES had "salmon" cheese slice, blueberry yogurt "clouds", bear shaped apples,
blueberries, and cherrios!

This was probably the hardest MTM I had ever done because the kids were so excited... I think they velcroed themselves to my legs screaming "can we eat now?"


Little Bear didn't make it to lunch but my "Little Bears" sure did enjoy their tins!

The Promise of Our Lady
Take this Scapular. Whosoever dies wearing it shall not suffer eternal fire. It shall be a sign of salvation, a protection in danger, and a pledge of peace.


Holy Virgin of Mount Carmel, Our Lady of the Scapular, pray for us!
