So this Saturday I'm planning a Very Hungry Caterpillar Feast.......

[treacletart]

One piece of chocolate cake, one ice cream cone, one pickle, one piece of salami, swiss cheeese etc etc. Will this create a lasting rosy tinted memory for my 5yo DS or will it just be an expensive mess of tantrums, nutritional inbalance, and saturated fat?

I think you should set it out on the table, take a picture of it for the album and then just let go, see what happens and don't become emotionally involved. I know what 5 yr old little boys are like.

Best of luck

it's a very good idea. I think I'll do an Elephant and the Bad Baby one including the line up of cakes in the bakers. I'll be keeping the pork pie for myself.

oooh yes suzy! and a big pile of pancakes to finish!

rumpeta rumpeta rumpeta

I'm curious, what's a 'very hungry caterpillar feast'?

Its going to be what the caterpiullar ate on Saturday...

one piece of choc cake,one ice cream cone, one pickle, one slice of swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one cupcake and one slice of watermelon.

Bet you're looking forward to the tummy ache on Sunday

I'll have some nice green leaves ready!

Sounds like a gorgeous idea! I love that book and (rather sadly!) have memorised all he ate everyday so I can tell the story to ds when I dress him for bed! Fab idea. I'd do all the days aswell though cos Saturday was the most unhealthy day of food! Cut up apples, pears, plums, strawberries and oranges so you can take pride in the healthy meal you have prepared!

I'm pmsl writing my shopping list for this. I'm so tempted to leave it behind in the trolley. If someone founded it and recognised it they'd have hysterics.

If I'd known earlier I could have lent you this

Hope it goes well!

cherry pie and sausages are going in the oven!

SUCH a good idea
I'm trying to think how to do a veggie version..

Well its all but finished and they're sitting in front of Shrek now. Dh and I reckoned we should do it in sequence but tbh the watermelon helped a lot as a palate cleanser inbetween all the sweet stuff. Really odd mix of foodstuffs, but ds seemed to really enjoy it! Might do it a again in a few years when dd's a bit older..

has anyone puked yet?

Fantastic idea though!
