Muffin Tin Munchies: Circles!

Quinn's MTMToday, after a  Labor Day full of fun with grandparents and our 2nd Soccer Tots (more on that later), I decided to serve Quinn his first “Muffin Tin Munchies!” Since he napped until after 6 {!!!!}, I took the opportunity to get his meal together. Our first theme was CIRCLES…mainly because it was an easy start…but, I also know that Quinn could use a little shape review! And, it was FUN! When Quinn woke up from his nap and saw his special meal, he was super excited…and loved pointing out all of the circles that he found!

1. Tostada shell with cheese and mini m&m’s eyes and mouth…and cotton candy hair! … And, a soccer ball whistle! :)

2. Yogurt drink and applesauce.

3. Veggie hot dog and mini nutter butter.

4. Cheerios

5. Waffle bowl with bananas and grapes

6. PB sandwich with m&m numbers and granola bar hands.

…Play BIG money all around!

When I found this one that had large spaces, i thought I’d use it to “make do” until I found the normal sized one.  But, after preparing the meal, I must admit that I REALLY liked the bigger spaces…more room to be creative!!!

***I think we’ll do squares and/or triangles next!!! Maybe even this week!!! :)***

Hi Britanny! I absolutely positively LOVE your muffin tin meal! It's so clever and cute! I so wish you would join in on Muffin Tin Mondays every week over at my blog. I know you mentioned previously that Mondays don't work for you, but I leave it open to accept links all week no matter if they correspond to the theme or not!
