Molly is going on a field trip tomorrow. She and several other children in GATE/High-Achieving Students are heading to the Pittsburgh Playhouse to see, "Yo Vikings!" Molly can't wait because she gets to dress up, ride a school bus (we live on the same street as the school so we walk) and seeing a fun play. Yo Vikings! is about a girl named Emma who's world is transformed into an epic Viking adventure. We used the flyer that came home as our inspiration for Molly's packed "brown bag" lunch.
Our main entree is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We cut out a Viking shape and used our food safe markers to create a Viking. We put this sandwich in a recyclable blueberry container so that it won't be squished. We got this idea from our friend Keeley McGuire, who also blogs about her daughter's lunch. Click
here for the post that we got the idea from.
Our vegetable side is baby carrots. Molly requested these because they tasted good to her today.
Our fruit side is an apple/strawberry squeeze applesauce on the go. No bruising of the fruit and lots of yummy flavor.
We added pretzels, Annie's Snickerdoodle Bunnies and Annie's Organic Fruit Snacks and a mini bottle of water to round out Molly's lunch.
Molly's lunch bag is our take on the cover art for the book
"Yo Vikings!", but we made Molly the main character, Emma. We also changed the title to Yo Molly! so that she has her name on her lunch, as requested. ☺
That's so cute! I love the sandwich container idea....brilliant! You are incredibly creative. If Sophie sees Molly's lunch on the field trip, she's going to be super jealous. :)
