Juggling Muffin Tin Monday

Today's theme for Muffin Tin Monday is the Circus. We decided to stick with one act of the circus show... the juggling act. We have a Juggler (peanut butter bread with raisin eyes and icing mouth), plates (carrots), balls (blueberries), bowling pins (marshmallows on a toothpick with icing lines), rings (cucumbers), sticks of fire (string cheese with peperoni).

First we watched this awesome Juggling video on youtube. It was really fun and the kids LOVED watching it and wanted to do so over and over.

Then we all practiced juggling.


Then we got down to business and started playing with our food. I gave them each a plate and they let their juggler start his show!




They ate every bit of it and had a GREAT time with this muffin tin Monday!

That is such a cute idea to stick with one act of a circus. And the putting the juggler down with all his "tools" was great!
