How to Make a Star Wars Stormtrooper Food Art Lunch Recipe For Your Kids

 

May the 4th is almost here which means it's one of my family's favorite days of the year! It's Star Wars Day! We love the movies, the TV shows, the LEGO sets, and everything else having to do with the legendary series. In fact, Star Wars land at Disneyland and Walt Disney World are some of our favorite places in the parks. Because of this, I have made special Star Wars lunches for my kids ever since I started this blog twelve years ago.

This year, I made a Stormtrooper sandwich with TIE fighter apples and lightsaber pretzel sticks. I made the Stormtrooper helmet out of cheese. This looks difficult, but I actually created a paper template to make it easier! You can download it for free here. Just print it off, cut it out, and lay it on top of bread, cheese, tortillas, or whatever else you want to turn into a Stormtrooper! Use it to help create the lunch by following the directions below. 

Ingredients: White cheese, two slices of bread, blackberry jam, nut-free spread, dried blueberries, blackberries, grapes, apple, toothpicks, granola, pretzel sticks, Fruit Roll-Up.

Directions:

1. Use this template to cut a Stormtrooper helmet out of cheese. Flatten two pieces of bread with a rolling pin and then use the cheese helmet as a guide to cut out around the bread. This will give you two pieces of bread in the shape of the helmet. 

2. Spread nut-free spread on one piece of bread, top it with the other piece. then spread a dark jam such as blackberry on top. Stick dried blueberries or fresh blackberries into the jam. Place it in the main compartment of the lunchbox and put the cheese helmet on top.

3. Surround Stormtrooper with blackberries. Cut two slices from an apple and put a toothpick through the middle of one slice, then a grape, then the second slice to make a TIE fighter. Repeat to make a second. Optional: Rub lemon juice on apple pieces to prevent browning.

4. Fill one side compartment with granola and the other one with pretzel sticks. Place one TIE fighter on the blackberries and the other on the granola. 

5. Wrap Fruit Roll-Ups pieces around two pretzel sticks. Use blue, green, or red colors. This makes two Lightsabers. Place them on top of the pretzel sticks.
