    Easter Lunch with Egg Box Dessert

    Today's lunch was for the last day of term before Easter, so I wanted to make it 'egg-stra' special.  I've been dying to try out something that I've seen all over Pinterest recently; plastic eggs in an egg carton, filled with food.  I found extra large plastic eggs  in the pound shop but they were too big for the egg cartons I had to hand, so I decided to go with normal sized plastic eggs and just use them for Small Child's dessert.  There were rather a lot more treats than normal in there, just because it's nearly Easter.  I kept the main part of his lunch pretty simple, as I'd spent a little extra time on his dessert.

    In this lunch Small Child had a couple of cheese sandwiches, cut into chick shapes.  On the side he had some raw red pepper rings, carrot flowers and a bunny rabbit boiled egg.  I will be posting a tutorial on how to make the bunny egg shortly - it's a lot easier than it looks!

    As mentioned before, I served his dessert up in a recycled egg box.  I decorated it quickly the night before with a little stamped image of a bunny, and a note inside saying 'Happy Easter!'

    Inside the plastic eggs he had a variety of treats; some mini organic alphabet biscuits, yoghurt covered strawberry fruit flakes, chocolate flavoured cereal, raisins, blueberries & some tiny mini chocolate eggs.

    I also packed a frozen organic yoghurt tube (not shown).  Rather unsurprisingly, almost all of this lunch got eaten, with just one sandwich and a few raisins left at the end of the day (they were polished off as a snack when he got home).  Small Child was absolutely delighted that apparently one of his teachers 'thought' he had a carton of real eggs for lunch, so thank you lovely teacher whoever you were for playing along!
