DIY a Happy Meal at home, with 4 recipes and a printable box template

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind adventure for parents, who have accessed new modes of creativity to keep their tiny humans happily occupied. But unfortunately, for many, not even the best explanations have slowed the ‘We want Mcdonalds’ chants, with the list of items they’d order seeming to grow longer every day. 

We have the solution: McDonald’s has released the template for their Happy Meal box, meaning you can create one at home with homemade favourites inside. Save, print and fold, and you’ll have your own Happy Meal box ready to go. Surprise your little ones with a Happy Meal picnic, or have fun creating your favourite Mcdonald’s-inspired meals together. (You’ll have to get creative with the toy aspect of the surprise, though!)

Here are a few recipes for your homemade Happy Meal: 

Chicken nuggets

Strawberry milkshake

Hash browns

Cajun burgers
