food sculptures

the children i watch were inspired by the incredibly creative book fast food by saxton freymann and joost elffers to create their own food sculptures with cucumbers, clementines and olives.

evie made a pirate ship...


and j.t. made an airplane.


they loved their creations and played with them all morning. 




until the fruit flies attacked! the ship, plane and passengers all made it safely to the fridge.=)


fast food was at my local library.


freymann and elffers have created other books with their food art. how are you peeling? foods with moods looks especially cute!



i hope you're peeling happy and well this weekend!=)
