Muffin Tin Monday: Creation Days 5 and 6

Muffin Tin Monday at Muffintinmom.com

We continued learning about the Days of Creation last week. On Monday I shared our Day 4 tin with the sun, moon and stars. Then we learned about Day 5 where God created the animals in the sky and seas. We concluded our week with the Day 6 muffin tin and had a fun tin full of land animals.

Day 5

A bird (see description below)
Chicken in a Biscuit Crackers
Octo-Dog
Jello with a shark fin banana
Jello with a fish
Goldfish Crackers

Here is a closer look at the bird.
I started out planning to make a chick, but it wasn't going to work. You can have it be whatever kind of bird you want. It was made with a hard boiled egg, grape, carrot sliver beak, frosting eyes, and potato chip wings (held on with hummus)



The fish is swimming away from the shark...

I originally came up with the shark in the water idea last year around St. Patrick's Day when I was making colors of the rainbow muffin tins.  That time the Jello was in a pie plate and there were a bunch of goldfish cracker fish and banana shark fins.

Day 6:

Here is what they had:
Monkey Nut-ritious Peanut Butter Sandwich playing in the bananas


Elephant peanut butter and apple butter sandwich
Dinosaur Chicken nuggets


Pig shaped ham wallowing in a Nutella mud hole


Cow shaped cheese standing in the pasture of sprouts


Hippo Shaped Watermelon in the Jello lake


I was going to make the pig in a pretzel stick pen but thought
1- it wouldn't look right and
2- the pig wouldn't have had a pen on the day of creation.
BUT... the girls knew I had the pretzel sticks and asked for them.




Please take note of the milk mustache as she made sure to tell me she had one.
Hehehe.

  1. That is the cutest idea I've seen in a long time! I may have to do something like this for my Sunday School kids, but think of something themed with our lesson.
