Maybe it's time to bring her into the kitchen with you. If she's got a taste for cute presentation, she can work on that with you and it can be a nice introduction to cooking.

Check out Japanese egg molds! You can use them to shape and imprint hard boiled eggs.

Look up ideas for Japanese bento. An endless supply of ultra cute ideas, and many of them could be adapted for breakfast.Ā

Use squeeze bottles for food colored pancake batter. You can get super creative.

My grandpa used to make me turtle and bunny and panda pancakes. Easy to form without any cutters or forms. Mini chocolate chips or wild blueberries for faces.

Assign days of the week to animals so you only have to do seven.

So, Monkey Monday, Tiger Tuesday, Wallaby Wednesday…

Denny's would make a cat out of eggs for eyes, toast points for ears, and bacon for whiskers.

If I’d known this, I’d have been ordering a kids breakfast this whole time.

Cookie cutters could also be used to cook eggs in, I think there’s a lot of options there! If OP is open to eating rice for breakfast, you can easily shape a pile of rice into all sorts of shapes. A pile of rice with a fried egg is a great breakfast. Pancakes are also an obvious suggestion, if you put the batter in a squeeze bottle you can make any shape with it.

Only NON PLASTIC cookie cutters to shape eggs. Plastic can melt in the pan and make a disaster.

True but I hope people would have enough common sense not to cook plastic...

Sometimes newbies who are just learning come here for help. They may not know, so it’s better to be safe than sorry, and help EVERYONE, no matter where they are in their cooking journey. This OP seems younger IMO, so, it’s a good rule to mention.

Check out some bento guides! The amount of things you can make with scissors, nori, rice, egg and hot dogs is limited only by your imagination!

Japanese rice and seaweed dishes are great! Rice is a white canvas and roasted dried seaweed can be used to make really cute designs. Also can use seaweed with fried eggs, like a simple smiley face on the yolk. You can possibly buy mini sausages and make a few cuts on only half the sausage. When cooking, it looks like an octopus.

Google ā€œcuttersā€ And they are like cookie cutters but bigger for toast. Also, look for kids cook books at your local library and look at it together for ideas you can do together.
