 How to Make a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Rocket Raccoon Food Art Lunch for Your Kids!

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 just came out, and since it is one of our favorite movie series to see as a family, my son really wanted to watch it for his birthday. So of course we had to go and I had to make a Rocket Raccoon lunch to celebrate. This is complete with a Rocket sandwich, Groot pretzel sticks, and a blackberry space scene. I chose to make Rocket more cartoon-like for this lunch instead of realistic because the movie was pretty serious in many scenes and I wanted this lunch to be lighthearted.
