I think when he's a little older he'll appreciate it more. My mom did during first grade with my lunches and I was delighted with sprinkles on my sandwiches. Right now I'm afraid of a flip out and just don't have the time to be creative with a baby and work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030592 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:18:00 +0000 Freckles 2030592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once made her snowman pancakes and she refused to eat it because it was too pretty. She finally ate it after I told her I would make more. Sheesh!</p> <p>I make her open faced bear sandwiches for breakfast sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030586 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:15:24 +0000 swurlygurl 2030586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it a couple times (butterfly sandwich, heart shaped cheese and lunch meat). Usually it's when her nap is taking a long time and I miss her... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030581 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:13:03 +0000 Astro Bee 2030581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad used to make bear pancakes (i.e., 1 big/2 little circles) for breakfasts when I was a kid. Turns out my FIL did the same with DH and BIL. Maybe it's a dad thing? They were both so proud of it, too! I think it was the only thing they could make; both my mom and MIL do all the cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030537 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:01:11 +0000 JerricaBenton 2030537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe once a week for fun. She's eating a ton right now so I barely have enough time to cook/prepare something and put it on a plate before she's screaming that she's starving lol. I do like to cut fruit, veggies and cheese into shapes sometimes because she gets a kick out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030504 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 09:50:20 +0000 mrsjyw 2030504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030499 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 09:47:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2030499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only on holidays. I don't have time for that everyday and don't want her to expect it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030490 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 09:43:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 2030490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only on holidays (heart shaped pancakes on V-day ect.) but I just don't have the time to get super creative and she's a good eater. I could totally see her not wanting to eat "the pretty flower" ect. if I did something fancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030488 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 09:43:29 +0000 Mamaof2 2030488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids love it when I cut their bologna into "pizza slices"</p> <p>And for Valentines day I usually make heart shaped food </p> <p>That's about it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030483 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 09:42:08 +0000 autumnlove 2030483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times but not usually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030377 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 09:14:26 +0000 blackbird 2030377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Way too time consuming, and I don't want to end up in a position where she'll only eat it IF i put in maximum effort. It just looks like a lot of work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030374 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 09:12:38 +0000 mediagirl 2030374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I will cut her sandwiches according to her specific requests but that's just to avoid a meltdown. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-los-food-fun#post-2030370 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 09:09:47 +0000 Bao 2030370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such as making it look like an animal, cutting it into fun shapes etc. I've never done this, but I think my toddler would get a kick out of it. I'm the least bit creative though so I could see it turning into a giant fail! </p> <p>Do you make your LO's food fun/interesting or do you just serve it up as is? If you do make it fun do you find that they eat it better? </p>
