I made this week's MTM in my new round cake tin cause my muffin tins are in a shocking state due to being a few years old so hopefully I'll remember this week to buy a new muffin tin for MTM uses. Anyway the theme for this week is 'Apples' but because our Tot School theme for this week is 'Farm Produce' I decided to make Andy's meal 'Apples and other farm produce'. We had so much fun cause as we made the pumpkin fritters we discussed how pumpkins grow and where we get them from and when I set up his meal we discussed each item and their relation to the farm and who/what produces them e.g. egg - chiken, cheese - milk - cow, apple - tree etc. We also baked some pinwheel biscuits this morning whose ingredients relate back once again to produce from the farm e.g. egg, flour etc.
So here's Andy's meal for today...
Hard boiled egg, biscuits, pumpkin fritter, apple, orange, cheese. He ate the whole meal and another biscuit besides. A healthy apitite after a long walk and a play in the park this morning. :)Please click on the MTM image at the top of this post to see what fun MTM's others have done.
Those pinwheel biscuits are too cute!

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great meal! What a great way to work with a farm products theme from school.
ReplyDeleteI would love the recipe for those pinwheel biscuits, please!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to tie the two themes together! And yes, I'd love the recipe for your biscuits - and the pumpkin fritter too!
ReplyDeleteI love the farm theme that goes with the lessons from tot school. My little one loves eggs. I bet yours loved the tin!
