Muffin Tin Monday - Circus of Colors

Muffin Tin Monday at Her Cup Overfloweth



Go on over to Her Cup Overfloweth to find out more about Muffin Tin Mondays. It's simply feeding your kids a meal in a muffin tin - just to be different.

This week even though it's a theme less week but since I didn't really do a theme last week when it was children's literature week I thought I'd do one this week. I got the idea while I was reading this book to Isla for the 4th time on the weekend.

Circus of Color by Lisa Hopp, Illustrated by Chiara Bordoni.
It's a cute book where each page is a different colour and a different performer at the circus. Here's my interpretation.




Red - Meatball with ketchup - Kooky the clown's red nose
Yellow - Apple sauce with star sprinkles - The great yellow Starini
Green - Grapes - Big green balloon that's about to POP
Blue - Yogurt with blue food colouring and face - the silly blue clown
Grey - PB&J sandwich in elephant shape - the great grey elephant (I know it's not grey but what food is)
White - Rice - the snow that's turning the circus tent white.
Pink - Also served with strawberry milk - Pretty pink tightrope walker.
I invited one of Lilo's friends over - they thought it was cool but just wanted to play so didn't eat that much. Isla enjoyed it.
