Here is my muffin tin for todays Circus Theme. Mondays have been such a busy day for us that I hardly have time to create my muffin tins.
For those of you who do not know how to make their own food picks here is how:
I printed out some free circus clip art that I found online (if you would like this clip art please let me know since I do have the combined cliparts saved).
Materials: printed clip art and 1 toothpick , colored pick, or bamboo skewer.
Make two holes, one at the top and one at the bottom.
Then pierce your toothpick/skewer into the top and out at the bottom…
There ya go, quick and easy.
To fit into our circus theme I then printed out a Circus clown activity page from here. (That website is great, there are a lot of activity pages although I had just found it today so I haven’t seen them all yet)
Since my son doesnt know how to color in the lines yet I just filled in the colors on the comp and cut them out for him. (hey, fun for me too!!)
Here is how I presented the activity:
Here is our finished activity
I cant wait to see what everyone else created for their Muffin Tin Monday Circus theme!

Heidi @ Blue Eyed Blessings says
Wow! I'm super impressed with your muffin tin idea of simply adding some picks to jazz up the food a bit. I also love the clown feet liners…I had thought maybe I could do that, but then realized that meant I would have to go buy them, so that took care of that idea. 😉
What great fun to add a "build your own clown face" to the MTM theme! Thanks for sharing all of your fun ideas!
Christy says
