As a parent to teens, I missed the chance to experience the toddler years in the age of social media, complete with online parenting communities and endless selfies. My children dodged the embarrassment of me posting bath-time photos, and I have only a handful of memories of me, bleary-eyed and in stained yoga pants. I certainly never found myself arguing with strangers online at 2 a.m. while breastfeeding. Though I did have my fair share of late-night debates with my partner!
But once in a while, a hashtag pops up that makes me wish I had small kids again so I could join in the fun. Enter #ObjectsForOutfits. This delightful trend has parents crafting edible “outfits” for their little ones, turning everyday food into whimsical clothing that looks too adorable to resist.
I can’t help but be charmed by these hilariously creative photos. Since I’m toddler-free, my dog might just become the star of my own #ObjectsForOutfits escapades. #kiddingnotkidding
Just look at these clever creations! I mean, how could anyone resist this gingerbread baby? And I’d absolutely love to see my daughter in flower-themed outfits for dance class, thanks to the inspiration from these posts.
Pumpkin butts are always a hit, as are those strawberry-themed baby photos. Who knew chili peppers could transform into cute little dresses? And let’s not even get started on the idea of a watermelon dress—because yes, I want one!
Even adults aren’t shying away from the fun of #ObjectsForOutfits. I’m not saying I’ll start crafting my own food attire, but let’s just say beach pictures could get a whole lot more interesting!
If I could take pictures of my toddler in a mushroom chef’s hat, I’d cook with him every day without a single complaint about the mess. Sure, these photos might seem silly and take time to create, but they showcase incredible creativity and a much-needed sense of humor in the sometimes monotonous days of parenting.
In a world often filled with negativity, a little joy from seeing babies dressed as fruits and veggies can brighten anyone’s day. So if you need me, I’ll be busy photographing my shih tzu as a taco. Or perhaps a burrito? The possibilities are endless, and I’m ready to embrace them!
