Mike Wazowski
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. […]
Giraffe
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 […]

Mr. Peacock
Mr. Peacock was so fun to make. The best part is that you can make a colorful tail out of any colorful fruits or veggies you have on hand. Mine has a body made from a peanut butter sandwich, legs and feet of carrot, and a tail made of celery, bananas, carrots, and blueberries.
