Muffin Tin Monday- Circus!

Muffin Tin Monday at Her Cup Overfloweth

Now, when I first figured out that Muffin Tin Monday could be joined in on, I was keen.  Then I saw the topic and was totally excited!  Tomorrow my students and I are performing our Circus tricks for primary students…. and teaching them the skills as well.  😀

Here is my first ever Muffin Tin Monday:

And from the top:
Top left:  Cheese cut and coloured into big-top shapes!
Top centre:  Cranberries (red clown noses)
Top right:  Strongman weights (carrots on toothpicks) on a bed of hummus
Bottom left:  Banana cupcake topped with a lion head
Bottom centre:  3 rings of 3 rings!  (I was giggling over this one… 3 ring circus….. ha ha ha)
Bottom right:  Elephant bread.

I made little sandwiches with the elephants, egg, cucumber and cheese….. used the crackers in the dip… ate the carrots with the picks… and finished off with the cake and cranberries. 😀

    Looks very cute! What did you use to cut and color your cheese tents?

    And yes, I'm giggling at your three rings too! 🙂

    To Mamagames… Hey there…. the cheese tents were cut with…. my knife…. and a wee bit of patience…. and then outlined with a toothpick…. and then coloured with a little food colouring on another toothpick…. Very low tech sorry.

    Thank you all so much for your awesome feedback! It has made my day!
