Tenney’s Paper Food Trays and To-Go Box

February 21, 2017 By Brandy 12 Comments

Now that the Our Generation ice cream truck has been redecorated into Tenney Grant’s Tennessee Hot Chicken Truck it’s time to start filling the truck up with doll sized paper food trays and to-go boxes!  These trays and boxes were inspired by American Girl Tenney’s picnic set.    My paper food trays were sized specifically to fit the to-go box.  I also wanted the to-go box sized correctly to fit all the needed food items and have enough finger room for easy play.  Today I will share with you two very easy and free printables to create these doll sized food trays and to-go boxes on your own.

Here is an inspiration picture of American Girl Tenney Grant’s picnic set.  You can find this set here:  http://www.americangirl.com/shop/new/tenney-picnic-set-dvm04

These paper food trays turned out super cute!  They are already in a red and white checked pattern.

Simply follow the steps below to create these American Girl doll sized food trays.

  1.  Print the Chicken Truck  Paper Food Tray Printable here:  Chicken Truck Paper Food Tray .  I suggest using a 65 lb cardstock paper for extra sturdiness.
  2.  Cut out the outside of each tray.  Then cut the small black line in each of the four corners.
  3. Fold along each solid red line.
  4. Bring corners inward.
  5. Use glue stick and glue corner angles down.
  6. Outside corners should look like this…

I am ecstatic how cute the doll sized to-go box turned out!  I think this is a much better size than the one American Girl made.  Follow the steps below for directions on how to create Tenney Grant’s take out box.

  1.  Print out Part 1 and 2 of the Chicken Truck Take Out Box here:  Chicken Truck Take Out Box part 1  and Chicken Take Out Box Center Panel part 2 .  I printed mine onto tan card stock paper.  Cut out each box base.  Cut the short dark black solid line in each corner.
  2. Fold along each thin line.
  3. Fold in cut tabs and place glue.  I used a glue stick.
  4. Press and hold corners shut.
  5. Each side base will look like this when assembled.
  6. Now use part 2 printable.  Cut out the two center panels.  You need to use both panels in one to-go box to make it sturdy.  Glue the center panels together.
  7. Then glue each base to the center panels.  Make sure your lettering faces outward.
  8. You can leave the to-go box as is…or…you can cut out the provided side panels and glue to the sides, providing coverage of your seams.

You can see that the food fits these doll sized paper food trays perfectly!

And you can also see that the food trays fit into the to-go box perfectly!  More on the food items and canning jar ice tea in upcoming posts!  The link to my previous Tenney Grant Tennessee Hot Chicken post with truck signs, menus, and décor can be found here: http://brandyshappyhome.com/tenneys-tennesse-hot-chicken-truck/

    Hi Brandy. Such cute ideas! When I printed out the back truck sign, it only came out with about 3/4 of the sign. I guess I need to figure out how to make my printer print out landscape size. Also, My printed out trays were only outlined in red, not the cute checks like yours. Any suggestions? Thank you!

      I think it must be something on your printer’s settings. I’m really not sure. I contacted a few others who were able to print out everything without difficulty. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

    […] To create the bread I used Sculpey III polymer clay.  I ran it through my pasta roller on the widest setting.  I folded this layer over to make it twice the thickness.  I used a square fondant cutter that measured 1-1/4 inch.  I then took a large round cutter and placed over the square clay to round the top corners.  Next I took a pointed tool to cut grooves into each upper side to give the slice a loaf look.  I then took a toothbrush and textured sponge to the clay to give it dimension and the look of bread.  I baked the clay according to package instructions.  When cooled, I used dampened brown chalk and a brush to add brown color to the edges for crust.  I added a thin layer of matte ModPodge when done to seal.  This size of bread fit perfectly in the paper food tray provided in a previous post which you can find here:  http://brandyshappyhome.com/tenneys-paper-food-trays-and-to-go-box/ . […]
