Easter Egg Carton Lunch

I originally got the inspiration for this lunch from this post on sensory Easter Activities for kids,  and decided to put a lunch time spin on it. Timing was perfect as I had two near empty egg cartons at home, and it just so happened to be Easter weekend! I saved this lunch for home as I was pretty certain the daycare ladies would hate me if I sent this one in with the kids, as if contending with 14 preschoolers at lunch time isn’t enough, having to deal with two of said preschoolers opening 12 colored Easter eggs and then eating lunch out of an egg carton probably would have put me in the bad books.

The kids really enjoyed eating their lunches out of the eggs, opening each one up to a surprise treat. The eggs contained everything from leftover steak and chicken, to potato salad, blueberries, carrots, crackers, and cheese. It was fun to watch the kids get excited about opening each egg, and I think the smaller portions of each item made it easier for  them to eat. I’ll definitely be doing this again next year!

Enjoy!
