If you’ve got kids that are picky eaters, they’re more likely to eat if you let them fix their own meal. When my daughters were pre-schoolers, I began their culinary education with this simple, fun and healthy lunch plate, and they LOVED it.
Ingredients
- 1 canned peach OR pear half (for the body) shopping list
- 1 piece curly lettuce (for her skirt) shopping list
- 1/2 hard-boiled egg, cut length-wise (for her head) shopping list
- 1 slice of American cheese, cut into thin strips (for her hair) shopping list
- 4 small celery ribs (legs and arms) shopping list
- 1 black olive, or marachino cherry, cut in half (for the shoes) shopping list
- 1 golden raisin (for her nose) shopping list
- 3 dark raisins (eyes and buttons) shopping list
- 1 marachino cherry (her mouth) shopping list
- Small dab of mayo (for “glue”) shopping list
How to make it
- Place the drained peach or pear half cut-side down in the center of a dinner plate. With a paper towel, pat the top of the fruit dry. Tuck the lettuce leaf under the bottom edge of the fruit for her skirt. Slide 2 celery ribs under the lettuce for the legs, and put the “shoes” in place. Place the other 2 celery ribs on each side of the fruit/body for her arms.
- Place the egg half at the top of the fruit for her head. Arrange the sliced cheese around the head for her hair.
- You’ll be attaching the buttons (on the body) and the face features using a tiny dab of mayo to hold them in place. With a paper towel, dry the cherry so that cherry juice doesn’t run on the egg; then slice the cherry so you have a “smile” shape. Cut small pieces from one dark raisin for the eyes, so they’re smaller than the whole raisin used for the nose.
