When I think I Easter, it isn’t the bunny that comes to mind, but the lamb. My mom used to make lamb cakes for Easter when I was growing up and lambs have remained my favorite symbol of Easter. Below you will find my lamb lunch and if you visit Rainbows Within Reach you will find a lamb I made for a guest post there made of egg cartons. I hope you enjoy both of them.
Yesterday I shared a rooster crowing, “Jesus has risen.” Today the lamb is responding by saying,” He has risen indeed!”
I don’t normally serve Cheerios on bread with olives, but they came to gather to make a really cute lamb.
The ground is covered with celery and pickle grass with jelly beans hidden in it.
Every meal must have cheese in it if JDaniel is helping plan it. The sun is the cheese element in this meal and it has shredded cheese rays along with mandarin orange pieces!
I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

So cute!
Thank you so much!
Adorable!
Thanks!
This is so cute – the Cheerios work so well as wool!
They really added a 3-D effect to the sheep. Without them he looked flat.
How clever is this idea? I’m going to pin it momentarily. Just popped over to thank you again for your willingness to ‘step-up’ and help out with your “oh-so-clever” guest post on my behalf. I know that by having it added to the Tinkerlab challenge there will be ‘new’ eyes and a greater visibility.
You’re the best! Happy Easter season to you and yours!!

I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to guest on your blog.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
It’s perfect that you worked some “sweets” into it, too, with the jelly beans!
The jelly beans were an afterthought, but I think they added whimsy to the meal.
Cuteness! I love the idea of the cheerios and olives (tho I never eat olives!).
I don’t really love them either. My guys really like them!
What a cute scene!
Thank you so much!
Amazing as always! Have you considered compiling your lunch ideas into an e-book? They are so cute and full of imagination! I marvel at them as my artistic brain seems not to spill over into food ideas!
I haven’t, but I love the idea!
Cute as always! I love that it is a whole scene!
Thank you! It was fun to put together.
I wish I could do things that turned out this cute!
So creative!
It is a based on a sheep craft I did last month. I am so thankful that crafts translate well into food.
That is just adorable!
Thank you so much!
I did NOT get the creativity gene for serving lunches. You are amazing.
Thank you! I do believe you have wonderfully creative way of weaving words.
lol, although it doesn’t sound great (i HATE olives!) it is just too cute.
This wasn’t one of my best balanced meals.
This is too cute. I love it. And I bet JDaniel did too!
He loved that I put jelly beans in his lunch!
The lamb is so sweet!
Thank you so much!
Your lamb is just precious. What a wonderful way to celebrate the Lamb of God.
I really wanted the lunch to reflect God and not the Easter Bunny this week.
It is definitely creative. I like it. Gives me an idea for the characters we work with : )
Great idea 🙂
What a very special idea to celebrate Easter! I always love your creativity with the muffin tin meals, too! I pinned this to the collaborative Easter board at http://pinterest.com/momto2poshdivas/easter/ Deb @ LivingMontessoriNow.com
This is adorable! I’m pinning to my kid food idea board.
I love this!
