Kids Lunch Ideas – Clemson and the Orange Bowl

By

I didn’t grow up in South Carolina. I grew up in Virginia and went to college there. The people in Virginia love their colleges, but I don’t think they get into displaying their school spirit like the do here in South Carolina. Despite there being several colleges in South Carolina, there seem to be two big ones. There are USC and Clemson. Cars in our area carry symbols of one of the other. People dress in the colors and school logos all year around.school pride.   JDaniel started asking about why there were paws on so many cars. I told him that they were proud of  Clemson. He really liked that idea. Clemson is going to the Orange Bowl this year so, I decided to make JDaniel a Clemson tiger paw lunch.

Kids Lunch Ideas

I made JDaniel had a ham football with Swiss cheese laces, I wanted him to have some protein in his lunch. Next he had plain yogurt dyed orange with a sprinkle and Smarties tiger paw in his lunch.  If your children don’t like plain yogurt, you could serve them an orange flavored yogurt instead. Then I  added a mandarin  orange bowl (pun intended) to his lunch, Finally dyed cream cheese orange and spread it on bread. A Swiss cheese tiger paw was placed on the spread.  Oh! JDaniel had milk in a Clemson water bottle. He loves having his own tiger paw bottle.

He really enjoyed the lunch! 
Yes, he is eating with his fingers. No, I am not happy about it. Yes, he is wearing  Star Wars pajamas he got from his Aunt Kate for Christmas. He never wants to take them off.

    Happy New Year to you and your family!!

  7. Cute. I like all the pawprints. And yes, I know – The Muffin wanted to eat bits of sausage with her fingers today, but I wouldn’t let her. 🙂

  12. This is so cute–I love it! It reminds me of all those elaborate bento lunches. You are so creative!

  14. Too cute! My daughter asked for a Rose Parade bento and I realized that I set the expectations too high! You will have to link this at Bento Blog Network in a few weeks when we start the orange challenge.

  15. Ha! I saw the Tiger paw on a linky and had to click over here. I live in SC too. I didn’t grow up here. After seven years of being here, I’m finally starting to understand SC’s love for college ball. It’s really an obsession here!
