Little Food Junction wishes all the kids a very happy children's day.

Children's day (in India) is celebrated on 14 th november each year. 

The day commemorates the birthday of our first Prime Minister , 

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who  loved kids and believed that they 

 are the future of our country and should be nurtured and loved 

dearly. As a tribute to which his birthday is celebrated as

 children's day. Most schools have cultural programs on this

 day. Often the teachers enact plays, narrate stories , sing songs

 and shower them with yummy treats and colorful gifts. 

Magic Toadstools 

Garlic oregano cheese bread from local bakery (or substitutes)* 

topped with tiny cheese circles (use small bottle caps/larger end of a

piping tip), cucumber, cherry tomato, grape and parsley.  

My lil one is very fond of  fairytales - thus for the celebrations at home 

her dad bought her a big book of '365 fairytales 'so that we never 

fall short of great stories for reading out to her every night. To add 

a wonderful zing to the day , I decided to bring alive the little 

land with  -' The Frog Prince' and the ' Magical Toadstools '. I 

spotted some garlic oregano cheese bread in one of the local 

bakeries and decided to put in to use with some veggies 

and  loads of fun !!
