This year our family is contributing bagged dinners to a local organization that provides for families in need. Once a month we will pack a meal for children who come to their evening tutoring program. For this months bagged meal I thought it would be fun to go with a pumpkin theme. In addition to orange juice boxes, orange colored chips (the packaging, not the chips) and a few candy pumpkins, I drew faces on Clementines. It was so quick and easy and I hope it makes someone laugh!

Do I count as the someone laughing?? Very Cute!
ReplyDeletesooo cute! I wonder if the guys at work would laugh if I sent my husband to work with some of these in his lunch ;)
ReplyDeleteNice you are helping put some food and joy into others lives this way. It takes so little to brighten lives that have so little.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! I'm totally snagging it for my daughter's lunch!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use to draw on the oranges? I have tried a Sharpie and and "paint pen" -- neither worked well.
ReplyDeleteKaren- I used a sharpie! I figured that the children would be peeling off the skin so it was ok for them. I'm sorry that the sharpie isn't working for you. I wonder if the skin has some sort of coating on it? Sort of how they put wax on apples?

ReplyDeleteWhile researching a post on Hallowe'en-related food, I found your post on the adorable ghost pizza. It would be a perfect fit with my post, and I know CP readers would love it.
With your permission, I would like to link to your post, and also to include a photo. Specifically, I'm referring to the photo in this post: http://princessandthefrogblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Halloween

This is perfect! We are having a Halloween party in two days and I was trying to think of quick and easy fruit ideas. Thank you so much! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I had a little trouble at first making the sharpie work. I wiped them a little with a towel to make sure they were dry and maybe to remove a little coating and it worked great after that! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Goes great with our "Orange you glad Jesus loves you!" theme for my 2yr old preschool class!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the 'cutie' of an idea (o:
How adorable! How come i didn't think of that!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy kids need these!!!
Hi there. Just an FYI. Your clementine pumpkins were featred in the News and Observer 'Top Drawer' section in the Home and garden section of the newspaper. Great job! (N&O) is out of Raleigh, NC. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI will be sending this to school this year! Great and easy
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant idea to make something nutritious just as exciting of a Halloween treat! I included it in my Halloween Round-up: http://tinkerbean.tumblr.com/post/34030955695/halloween-treats

Question: When you peel the oranges, does the marker rub off onto your fingers?
