Dig Into Gardening a link-up I am co-hosting starts tomorrow so, I have had gardening on my mind a lot lately. JDaniel recently found a set of tangrams on his nightstand. I started wondering if we could create a flower with them.
How I Made the Tangram Rose
After searching on the internet, I found a worksheet that showed the rose above. With the worksheet as my guide, I cut out the pieces for this rose.

It was hard to see that it was supposed to be a rose when it was just pieces of bread pieced together. I dug out my set of food markers to create the outline of each shape. The rose really jumps out with the outlining.
After putting the tangram rose together, you can help your children place their favorite food spread on the bread. Jam, peanut butter, or cream cheese would be great!
While I was working on this food creation, JDaniel announced he was going to make his own food creation. His creation would have microorganism meal.He headed to the fridge and searched through the shelves the way he has seen me do millions of times.
JDaniel loved creating and describing this lunch to me. When he finished, I told him we would have to eat lunch. He said, “Fine! It is filled with favorites.”
I love that the loved his lunch. I love how the rose cute snack idea turned out too.
