Sometimes, it's just fun to break out of the routine and have some crazy, out of the ordinary fun at meal time. I called everyone to the kitchen. I let everyone (kids first) choose one item that would be used for eating or drinking and then directed them to the place where they would be sitting. I gave instructions about the items on the table and how they would be "re purposed" for our silly soup meal. Some people would be eating soup with stirring spoons and others eating out of a mini bread pan. Some would be drinking soup from a mug and others would be drinking water from a measuring cup or bowl. Rather than just putting out soup bowls and spoons, I thought it would be far more fun to enjoy our meal in a non-traditional way. Everyone had a great time and there were lots of giggles around the table.
