Pigs Do Fly

The unit this week in Kidlet’s kindergarten class is “grassland animals”.  The Lion is also the school’s mascot, so I decided that was the grassland animal I’d start with this week. 

Lion is turkey and cheddar on a sesame seed roll with meat and cheese features, scallion whiskers and carrot curl mane.  The eyes are puffed cereal. There’s an itty bitty forelle pear (so cute!) which I halved, then used a small melon baller to take out the core.  Blackberries, broccoli, cherry tomato, golden beet cut with mini lion cookie cutter, a tiny cookie with paw print drawn on with food marker and a cinnamon graham cracker shaped like a dragonfly.  Some dressing in the lion bottle.

Time taken:  I spent 5 -10 minutes last night making the carrot curls, sticking them on toothpicks and putting them in ice water to help them hold thier shape.  20 minutes for assembly this morning.
