Make a Fruit and Vegetable Funny Face:
Prepare some raw vegetables and fruit before asking
your child to arrange them to make a funny face on a plate.
You could use a peeler to make strips of carrot or grate an apple
for hair. Sliced strawberries or kiwis make great eyes and a
strip of red pepper will make a smiley mouth. The best bit is
getting to eat your funny face when you've finished.
Here are some funny faces made by the children
in one of my family learning classes, with a little help
from their mums:
