| Teeny Tiny Food |

Materials:
Tiny plates and cups
Food cut into tiny shapes
1) Tiny Dishes
Look around your kitchen for your tiniest dishes {a tiny tea set would be perfect}. We made little plates by cutting off the bottom circle from yogurt cups. We used a plastic bottle cap for a drinking cup. A vintage handkerchief was our tablecloth. You could make personalized construction paper placemats and mini napkins - or even a tiny menu.
2) Tiny Food
Use a tortilla instead of bread to make your favorite sandwich, then cut out small shapes. {Or use a rolling pin to flatten out a piece of bread.} Fruit & vegetables can be cut to make mini shapes. We cut banana shapes, then dipped them in sprinkles.
Other Mini Food Ideas:
~ Carrot matchsticks
~ Lettuce cut into the tiniest salad
~ Berries topped with a dot of whipped cream
~ Mini store-bought cookies & crackers
~ Cereal shapes as cookies
~ Cheese & cracker sandwiches {slice string cheese into circles}
~ Herbal tea served in a thimble
~ Garden-fresh peas
~ Cherry tomatoes
~ Tiny champagne grapes - they are adorable!
~ Watermelon cut into the smallest triangles
More Ideas:
~ Make mini invitations and throw a teeny tiny party.
~ Do you have a picky eater or someone who won't try a certain food? You might be surprised what they'll eat when it's served on fairy-sized dishes.
