5. Food art

Tired of drawing as usual? Get creative and turn nature's bounty into a work of art.
Cut up carrots, tomatoes, celery, or other fruits and vegetables, and help your child arrange the food into pictures on a large plate. The two of you can create a clown, train, or a beautiful piece of abstract art. You can use olives for eyes, round crackers for wheels, slices of cheese as windows — the possibilities are endless.
Enjoy your meal!!!!!!!!!!
