Fun Projects with Food for Kids

by Susan G. Purdy
You and your kids don't need to follow our designs exactly--especially if you don't have all the ingredients on hand. Simply scan your fridge and take out a selection of foods (limit the ingredients so you don't overwhelm your kids).

Offer a tool (a plastic or paring knife), a type of glue (choose one below) and a plate for a canvas. Then invite your kids to build faces, monsters, cars, flowers or other delectable designs.

EYES AND NOSES: Peas, corn niblets, carrot rounds, black olives, black beans, cereal, nuts, seeds or raisins.

HAIR: Broccoli or cauliflower florets, grapes, fresh dill or parsley, or cooked fusilli or other curly pasta.

LEGS: Thin celery or carrot strips or pretzel sticks.

GLUES: Peanut butter, mayonnaise, cream cheese, jelly, yogurt, catsup, mustard, pizza sauce or honey.
