We are getting into the Halloween spirit around here. After a tough September with Madison’s appendix surgery, we are all looking forward to the simple joy of enjoying fall and Halloween this month. One of the first signs of Halloween around here are the little faces I add to the fruit for the kids lunch box. It started with clementines, but often I’ll write on banana peels too.
For early readers, I love adding in simple words like Boo, Love, and Happy. It’s a nice way to engage the kids in some conversation about lunch time and if they liked their little surprise and find out who sat next to them and if they showed their friends. One mom got her daughter to start eating clementines after seeing a little Kitty clementine in Madison’s lunch box.
I often use a Sharpie for writing notes and spooky faces, all on skin that will be removed. Another option is to get a Food Writer Marker
I hope your little one enjoys some pumpkin clementines this season!
This is such a cute, fun and festive idea! I love it!
What a fun idea. I will have to do this to some of the clementines in our fridge. My girls would get a laugh for sure!
What a clever idea! Can’t wait to do this to their lunchbox fruit next week!
I’m stealing this idea for my daughter’s lunches. So cute.
