Next Sunday is Mother's Day and I am hoping that by doing a practice run with JDaniel on how to create a breakfast sundae a week early he will be able to help my husband create one for me.
I plan to have muffin tins filled with the same ingredients we used in the dry run in the fridge ready to go.
The green tin contains coconut flakes, raisin bran like cereal, honey nut loops, dried fruit, chocolate chips, and almonds.
The brown tin contains kiwi slices, baked apples, slice grapes, blueberries, sliced strawberries, and cantaloupe.
JDaniel tried using chopsticks to move the ingredients into his waffle cone bowl filled with vanilla yogurt to build his breakfast sundae. They were difficult to use with the little pieces of food he tried to pick up.
A large spoon did a much better job. JDaniel was able to use it to scrap the cup that contained the baked apples with it easily.
I will have to let you know next week how the guys do on Mother's Day. I am looking forward to ths simple and tasty treat.

What are you hoping to get for Mother's Day?
I love this idea! I'm sure he will enjoy bringing you breakfast next week.
ReplyDeleteHe is at an age where he loves to create and help in the kitchen.
DeleteGreat idea! I'm always looking for new breakfasts that my little ones will actually eat! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is delicious. They may really like it.
DeleteWhat a great idea. And so yummy! I know my little ones would love it!
ReplyDeleteI made one too. It was really delicious!
DeleteThere is a girl out there, who is just going to love you so much one day xxx
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed.
DeleteThat looks SO appealing!
ReplyDelete=)
I really love fresh fruit and vanilla yogurt! It looks so pretty in a bowl.
Deletekudos to you for prepping your son for your own "gift." I'm sure he'll be very proud, and your husband will be very thankful.
ReplyDeleteWe have to be up early on Sunday. I wanted something quick and easy.
DeleteThis is such a fun idea.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun!
DeleteI love the coaching in advance so you get one on your special day. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you give a four year old an idea, chances are he will own it and follow through on it.
DeleteHee hee - that's cute. And it looks yummy! I'm hoping for pancakes on Mothers Day - my husband makes the best pancakes ever.
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed that pancakes will be waiting for you on Sunday morning!
DeleteThis is so cool! He is going to be one proud little dude on Sunday! This is a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteWay to go little guy! Thanks for sharing this week!
Blessings,
Kristine
I hope he enjoys it!
DeleteThat looks delicious. I'm hoping that my husband will wake up early enough to go get peanut butter donuts for Mothers Day breakfast. And that he'll stay out of my kitchen. :)
ReplyDeletePeanut butter donuts sound awesome!
DeleteComing over from the Spring Fling :) I love this idea! It'd be perfect for the kids to each make a little Sunday for Mom :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and have a great week!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
DeleteThat looks really good! Hope my family makes me something nice for Mothers Day.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is something wonderful!
DeleteI love this idea and I would love to have my kids prepare it for me for Mother's Day. I'd load up my waffle cone with all the fruit and healthy stuff. If it was the other way around and I did it for my boys, their waffle cones would be filled with nothing but chocolate chips. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteJDaniel loved adding the sweet things to his too.
DeleteLove it! What a fun idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet Shannon will be getting a wonderful breakfast on Sunday!
DeleteNewest follower from SITS Spring Fling! I love Muffin Tin Mom and this post! So clever and cute. Where do you buy all those custom tins??
ReplyDeleteThese tins are Wilton and they have them at most craft stores. I think.
DeleteThis is such a clever idea!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you liked it.
DeletePopping in from Spring Fling. I love this idea! We make our own yogurt, but I bet my husband could add some vanilla to it for a sundae like treat. Nom nom. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet your homemade yogurt is awesome!
DeleteWhat a great idea!Love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like it!
DeleteHow fun! My son would love to create his own sundae! We might try it with yogurt since he doesn't eat many sweets yet. Love this idea! :)
ReplyDeletePlain no fat or vanilla low fat are favorites at my house.
DeleteLove the breakfast sundae idea. I think that we may have to try that. Great blog. ;0
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it goes!
DeleteWhata fun and great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteThat looks fabulous! Yum! What a great idea and to do that on a bigger scale for family! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be great on a bigger scale!
DeleteMmmmm, I'd like to come over for this one! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt would be such fun to have you over for breakfast.
DeleteNow that is a breakfast I'd love to eat! So much better than my usual slice of toast. ;)
ReplyDeleteLemon Drop Pie
This might be great with a special toasted base.
DeleteSo cute! And I love how healthy it is, too.
ReplyDeleteI love that it is healthy too.
DeleteWhat a great idea! I am so trying this around my house!!!
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it goes over!
DeleteOne of these days I'm really going to try the muffin tin thing...
ReplyDeleteawesome as always!
Sandy
It is such fun! You should so join in.
DeleteThis is such a cute idea (and apparently I'm not the first one to tell you that lol)!
ReplyDeleteWe really loved it!
DeleteThis is so great! I love it when you can find a way for a kiddo to do a recipe all on their own. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to see what he would create!
DeleteWhat a great idea for the younger kids! I hope you enjoy your Mother's Day! Thanks for stopping by I really enjoyed my visit!
ReplyDeleteDropping in from DearCreatives.com
This big kid loved it too.
DeleteGreat idea. I love that you did a trial run. It will probably make it much smoother for you on mother's day.
ReplyDeleteMy husband asked my son what he should get me for Mother's Day and my four year old said, "Probably batteries for her camera." Spoken like a true son of a mommy blogger! I hope you have a relaxing breakfast in bed on Sunday!! Happy Mother's Day.
I love that he knows you so well!
Deletelove it! We have some of those waffle cones, I may have to pull them out again. As always, thanks for linking up. it's a joy to have you participate
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled that you stopped by!
DeleteI hope after this you are surprised with a breakfast sundae in bed.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful!
DeleteGood idea getting him ready. Hopefully he can teach his daddy what to do to pamper Mom on Sunday. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think he will do a great job!
DeleteAwesome idea for Mother's Day! Love the chopsticks!
ReplyDeleteChopsticks are such fun to eat with. JDaniel loves them.
DeleteThat looks absolutely delicious. What an excellent idea! I love it!
ReplyDeletewhat a great and tasty idea :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I think I will have to give it a try next year. Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!! I hope you are having a great week!
