Edible Robots

 

Here is a fun craft idea which might even encourage the kids to eat some fruit and vegetables! This is a fun idea for those days when the children are grumpy and not interested in eating much.

Edible Robots

You will need:

Crackers, wafer biscuits
Cream cheese (you can use hard cheese as we have in the photo)
Grapes or olives
Salad (cucumber, peppers, carrots, or whatever you have in)

Spread two biscuits with cheese. Arrange these on a plate: one as the body and one as the head.

Cut rectangles of carrot or other salad to be the legs and arms.

Cut some grapes, olives or cherry tomatoes in half and use these to decorate your robot as buttons and eyes.

This is an excellent activity for encouraging young children to look at shapes around them. It also provides cutting practice and helps children develop their fine motor skills. Older children will have fun choosing appropriate (or wacky) pictures to use to build their robots!
