I grew up watching the Ninja Turtles and playing with the action figures. Because of this, it\u2019s been a blast seeing my son do the same. Like most kids, I had my favorite Turtle. I have to admit that it wasn\u2019t Raph. But, you know who loves Raph? My son. Depending on the day, he’s obsessed with either Raph or Leo. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s Raph\u2019s attitude, his red mask, or his weapon, the sai, but my son can\u2019t get enough of him. If your kids are anything like mine, they’ll do anything for this fun-to-make Raphael and Splinter lunch!<\/p>\n

How to Make<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step One:\u00a0<\/strong>Cut a wedge from the green apple. Slice a matching wedge from the top\u00a0half\u00a0of the red apple. Insert red wedge into green apple for Raph\u2019s mask. Cut two eyes and a mouth from provolone cheese. Place on apple face. Place Raph into main compartment of lunchbox.<\/p>\n

Step Two:\u00a0<\/strong>Fill in\u00a0raspberries all around Raph’s\u00a0head. Cut mask tie straps from red apple and place as\u00a0shown, so it looks like the straps are coming from the back of Raph\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

Step Three:\u00a0<\/strong>Fill side compartment with\u00a0yogurt-covered raisins. Shape brown edible modeling dough into sai handle and shape\u00a0black dough into the blade, as shown. Press both pieces together. Repeat to make second sai. Place both on top of yogurt covered raisins.<\/p>\n

Step Four:\u00a0<\/strong>Cut two Splinter shaped pieces from slice of bread. It doesn\u2019t have to be perfect, just a face with ears. Stack pieces on top of each other. Spread peanut butter or nut-free spread on top piece. Press shredded coconut on to of peanut butter where shown to make the white fur on Splinter\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

Step Five:\u00a0<\/strong>Cut raisin in half and place on spread to make\u00a0Splinter\u2019s eyes. Use\u00a0pink sprinkles in the middle of the face to make Splinter’s nose, and use more pink sprinkles to fill in his ears. Fill second side compartment halfway with\u00a0raisins. Place Splinter head atop raisins.<\/p>\n

Serve this mutated meal to your kids. They\u2019ll get so pumped with Turtle Power, maybe they\u2019ll attempt to conquer the Foot Clan, or even better, clean their room!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
