DIY Easter Gift - Easter Choco Eggs Deco Fun

Today I decided to have some fun since Easter is coming. I bought a pack of Easter chocolate eggs with the intention of adding to their Easter theme sandwich box and there are just too many in one packet. Sharing is more fun so I decided to let them bring some to school and share with their classmates.

I gave the kids some stickers and let them create some polka dots eggs. I have many other types of stickers too but I just want to keep the task simple.

Work-In-Progress

Task Completed

They had lots of fun putting the stickers and it is a pretty yet simple gift to make for your friends. 

Below is the list of items you need for the DIY Easter Gift.

Stuff Required :

1. Empty Quail Egg Case

2. Small Chocolate Easter Eggs

3. Assorted Sitckers

4. Ribbon to tie the box (optional)

It is fun. Give it a try it!

Quick & Easy - Sandwich Bag

I have to admit I don't feel like making cute sandwiches this week but my kids still need their food. Sandwich bag is the easiest as I am free to decorate the bags. Too lazy to even make sandwich, I bought some buns from a bakery and put into colored sandwich bags. 

Added their favorite stickers to the sandwich bags instead of drawing on it. They are not really into Disney Frozen anymore (what am I gonna do with the hand drawn Elsa sandwich bags now? *sweat*) and one of their new favorites is the Winx Club. I just added a short message on the bag for a personal touch.

They seem happy with the arrangement as they get to choose the stickers for the bags too.  

WIN-WIN situation! :)

Starry Starry Sandwich

Star-shaped sandwich cutter

Feeling lazy to make a character sandwich today and so I dug out a star-shaped sandwich cutter from the cupboard. This cutter was a free gift that came with some milk powder for my kids. It has been with me for quite some time and finally get to use it today. 

I used kaya and butter for the bread filling. I also included dried apricots and fresh strawberries for the kids, not forgetting their favorite cookies. I reminded them to share the cookies with their friends, if not there will be a sugar rush!

Their sandwich boxes today!

It only took me less than 10 minutes to fill up the box. Quick solution for a lazy me!  I just hope I don't get too used to it. Hehehe…

Piggy Piggy Pig Pig

I saw a cute piggy soft toy and made a sketch of it. I tried to make it into a piggy sandwich but the sandwich didn't turn out to be as cute as the drawing. Room for improvement!

My kiddo actually told me it a difficult sandwich to make but I told her at least I tried.

I used ham and cream cheese as the bread fillings and from the sketch, i labeled the rest of the ingredients used in the picture.

The initial drawing was adorable but I think the nostrils of the sandwich is too prominent and so the sandwich didn't turn out the way I wanted. I guess I should have dug two holes on the snout to create the nostrils instead of using white cheese. 

Anyway, it was done and I didn't had time to change. So be it! As long as my kids eat everything in the box. Hee…

Last Minute Dinosaur Sandwich

The small one has not fully recovered from her stomach flu so I wanted her some bread with grape jam to bring along in a sandwich bag today. The elder one said she didn't want any sandwiches but changed her mind this morning and I was only left with ten minutes to get their food ready. I dug out a dinosaur sandwich cutter and used a chopstick to poke the eyes and I was done! 

With time to spare, I decorated the sandwich bag warning them of danger in the bag. Hehehe....

Remembering Mr Lee K Y

Singapore mourns.

The teacher in school has been explaining to the class who Mr Lee Kuan Yew was and everyone in class will be making a card for Mr Lee in class today. 

Someone suggested to me to make a sandwich in remembrance of Mr LKY and I came up with the sandwich today.

I have never made a sad character sandwich for my kiddos and for the first time I need to show them that the whole country is grieving for the loss of a great leader.

The sandwich, with peanut butter grape filling, depicting a little girl crying, holding on to a Singapore flag.

I asked my kid to let her classmates guess what does 'MM' on the sandwich stands for and see how many gets it correct. 

MM, our Minister Mentor

It is him who turned the tiny dot on the map into a metropolis. Mr Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore.

Thank you, Mr Lee.

Sleepy Rabbits = Sleepy Me

Gosh! A week of school holidays gone in a flash! My small kiddo is down with a bad stomach flu and I am so tired. My house looks as though a tornado came by but so be it. I am jut glad that the high fever is gone.

I was not able to prepare any food for my other kid yesterday and made it a point to make one for her today. 

Zzzzzz……

I made a sandwich that totally reflects how I am feeling. Mummy rabbit sleeping with baby rabbit!!! *yawn*

It is a hotdog bun and I used a slice of cheese as their blanket and the 2 rabbits snuggled up comfortably in a yellow blanket.

I want to be the mummy rabbit sleeping comfortably in bed

The sick kiddo saw her sister's sandwich and wanted one but she couldn't even eat much. Guess she won't be ring to school again tomorrow. Anyway I told her I will make something for her when she is better.
