Daycare: how did you make your food and what's in it? It looks great!

I think I will be making mummy meatloaf with ghost mashed potatoes on Halloween. Hopefully it turns out ok . For breakfast, I will be making french toast cut out with ghost cookie cutters, sprinkled with powdered sugar. For dinner, I plan to make stew served in pumpkins. I'm not sure how any of it will turn out, but we shall see!

Good ideas here, but I wish their were more! I want to do something special for Wednesday but I might keep it to just a snack item, ha ha. I only have 1-3 year olds so nothing to "creepy" but I need to serve something healthy too. Maybe I'll have to google for it.

Everything I served was healthy minus the cookies.

Eyeball soup was applesauce with black and red food dye
Other was cool whip with grapes banana and raisins
Last was graham cracker with honey and cream cheese and raisins

I agree....I keep looking and looking for ideas and all food ideas revolve around sweets (cupcakes, cakes, cookies, etc.). It's so frustrating! I did mummy meatloaf last year and the kids liked it. It's just your typical meatloaf (which I fill with veggies), shaped into a mummy shape and baked. The last 5 minutes of baking, you throw on sliced mozzarella cheese to make it look like a mummy and a couple olive slices for the eyes. The boo mashed potatoes are new this year and I hope they turn out ok. Here are pictures of my plans:

And for snack, I want to make snickerdoodles in the shape of fingers, like this:

I am going to carve an orange like a jack o lantern and put fruit salad in it. I only have 5 that I feed snack top, if I had to many more it would be to much work.
