Ever since we were kids ourselves, we can most likely concur that those Mickey Mouse pancakes always tasted slightly better than the average pancakes derived from the same batch.
Since that day in age, we may have grown up and Mickey Mouse himself has taken on some changes, but through it all, our kids still love those cakes as much as we did when we were little.
Getting creative with food is not only a perk to being a parent but at times a necessity to helping the finicky eater appreciate what has been laid out in front of them for a meal.
The most obvious way to incorporate Mickey into a breakfast meal is with pancakes but keep in mind also that other closely related foods withhold the same potentials.
Waffles are easily cut down to Mickey shapes.
Oranges and many different rounded fruits can easily be molded into the three familiarly recognized circles.
The ketchup of hash browns draws a Mickey Mouse Figure rather easily and the biscuits of biscuits and gravy are already formed into circles for you to arrange as well.
If you happen to be frying some eggs that is another situation ready for the molding.
The possibilities are endless.
When you feel confident in expanding your abilities beyond the three rings, there are other figures you can help your child imagine in their food as well.
Sponge-Bob is merely a square with some arms and legs while Garfield can be a big oblong blob.
Even if you don't know how to make something, be sure and ask your child how they might go about making their request.
You might be surprised at the amount of ingenuity they have themselves.
Nevertheless, have fun.
Not only do these exercise the child and parents imagination but it also creates an atmosphere of engaging fun conversation; something that will prove to be memorable and invaluable in the future as you grow with your child.
