In doing mucho research for starting Leah's homeschool preschool in September, I have come across sooo many neat websites with clever and creative ideas-- things to do, ways to make learning fun, etc. (I will be sharing much more of my research once we actually start doing school-- you will have to wait & see!) But one of the ones I came across recently is called The Muffin Tin Mom.
Basically, it is a creative way to break the regular routine of lunchtime (which, I admit is pretty boring around here), to serve foods in smaller, more manageable portions and to introduce picky eaters to new foods in a fun and interesting way. Of course, you don't have to use a muffin tin-- and I've been thinking about doing something like Laptop Lunches (an idea I found a long time ago but never did much with) anyway, so that I can prepare them in advance for the week (or at least a couple days) since I really hate preparing lunches every day! But you have to admit, the muffin tins are really cute.

I'd really like to try this-- maybe I can get my picky eater to try some new things! Of course, mine probably won't be this elaborate at first. They can be as simple or as complicated as you like. I hope to eventually do some "themed" ones, too, but I'll start simple... Now I just have to get some extra money to go get some cute cookie cutters & muffin tins.
