The Very Hungry Caterpillar

August 4, 2012 by Amy Hudson

We all love the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  
Take a morning and read the story with your child, then talk about all the foods the caterpillar ate, and perhaps talk about which of the foods he ate were nutritious and which were not. 
Then, create him yourself!  Take a large strawberry and slice to create his head.  Next, create his eyes by using little bits of pineapple cut into circles and place sliced green jelly belly candies in front.  Form his body with green grapes , carrot feet, raisin mouth, and ham antennae.  He is walking on an oatmeal ground and taking in the cheddar cheese sun!

Mike Wazowski

July 23, 2012 by Amy Hudson

Do you recognize this guy from Monsters Inc.?  Mike Wazowski is made of a honeydew melon sliced and cored.  His eye is made of yogurt, sugar snap peas, and a blueberry.  His mouth is also made of bluberries.  I sliced him up in order to make the eating part easier for my little Disney fan.

After the photo, I sliced Mike all around for Grace to enjoy.

Giraffe

July 20, 2012 by Amy Hudson

Giraffes are one of the most beautiful and remarkable animals for kids to see.  I remember how excited was the first time we took Grace to the zoo.  She was in awe of the giant giraffes and wanted to spend lots of time watching them.  Today we are taking a cue from that experience and making a fruit giraffe!
This fruit giraffe is so tasty!   His body is a cantaloupe cut to shape, and his spots are sliced strawberries.  With his raisin eye he is checking things out!
I found it hard to shape it just right – but did my best.  My daughter, as usual, gobbled this fruit giraffe all up!  I’m thinking of making some different variations of this guy soon.
This snack would be great to make after a trip to the zoo!

Tropical Island

July 4, 2012 by Amy Hudson

This tropical island getaway is created by using oatmeal for the land/sand, yogurt for the waves, a graham cracker tree trunk, sugar snap peas for leaves, and colby jack cheese for a sun.
Makes me want a vacation!
