You can make fantastic animals out of summer fruits and vegetables. Think of an animal, then the fruit or veg that most resembles it (ie fluffy lamb = cauliflower), then start creating. You’ll need:
Cocktail sticks Pipe cleaners Or wooden kebab sticks to hold the larger bits together Paring knife for carving Lots of different sized and coloured veg and fruit Our duck had a cabbage body, a pear head, blueberry eyes, a carrot nose and a broccoli quiff. The dinosaur had an avocado head, carrots for eyes, tail and legs, peppers for the body and triangular cucumber bits as spikes. Try a hedgehog with green bean spikes, an aubergine armadillo with a baby corn tail, or a spaniel with floppy ears carved from his watermelon head. |
