Made this dinner for A and B the other night. It was very easy and the girls loved it. The hair is obviously strawberries, but you could do cut grapes too. The eyes are wheat bread that I cut with a cookie cutter. I then have salami circles and a sprinkle on top. A eats the sprinkles first and B doesn't like them, so she puts them aside and A has them when she has finished her dinner. The nose is a baby carrot and the ears are Colby Jack cheese that I used a heart cookie cutter on. Heart cookie cutters are great because in addition to hearts you can make lots out of half a heart. The mouth is a silicone muffin cup with peach yogurt. I don't always have time to do dinners that look this fun, but when I do the girls always clean their plates!
I need to try this sometime. I have a hard time just making dinner at all. I hate doing it. But my kids are super picky so this might help them.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog it is nice to have a place were there are fun activities I can do with my little one.....keep up the good work,
ReplyDeleteLaura, my girls are so picky. I don't want to do this all the time, but it is a nice change.
ReplyDeleteCiao Mama, hope I can provide some fun!
ReplyDeleteYou are way too creative for me lately! Thanks for the comment the other day....
ReplyDeleteTricia, thanks but not very creative. A face is the easiest thing to do. If I make a playground scene out of the food, that's creative! :-)
