Autumn has well and truly arrived now, bringing with it cold mornings, gusts of wind, and rain, lots and lots of rain! To 'celebrate' the turning weather, I made a rainy day themed lunch for Small Child.
In this lunch he had a couple of homemade ham, red pepper and cheddar cheese quesadillas, cut into umbrella shapes using a large circle cutter, and decorated with edible marker pen. I stacked one on top of the other and added a plastic umbrella handle, which I had saved from a lindt umbrella chocolate. On the side he had peas (in their pods), strips of raw red pepper, carrot and cucumber to make a rainbow of veggies. He also had a sliced plum and red grapes topped with a rubber duck pick (in our family we've always called rainy weather 'ducks weather'). I finished the lunch off with a Babybel cheese decorated by cutting a cloud and raindrops from the wax with mini bento cutters.
I also added a frozen organic yoghurt tube to his lunch bag (not shown). There was nothing left of this lunch by the end of the day, so I'm guessing it went down well.

I absolutely love this and all your other ideas! You are so creative! I would really love to do this for Cameron but would be worried he would play with it and not eat it lol
Thank you for linking up with The Weekend Blog Hop

Thanks Laura, you might be surprised - a little playing does sometimes go on but it helps to make the meal more pleasurable and more food seems to get eaten as a result!
