Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- squeeze of lemon juice
- 1 x thin slice of ripe pear or kiwi or apple (slice across so it's an oval shape) - pear or apple needs to be steamed or thinly sliced to avoid choking. For decoration: cherry tomato, spinach or basil leaves, chives, black olive pieces
- 2 x thin slices of cucumber
- 1 x blueberry, halved + 2 x quarters of a blueberry
- slice of strawberry for the smiley mouth (could also use red pepper or tomato)
Method
- Mash the avocado finely with a squeeze of lemon juice (or lime) Create your froggy face with this. Little ones can help spread out the avo with the back of a spoon or their hands.
- Add the slice of pear, apple or kiwi for the lower part of the face.
- Add 2 slices of cucumber for the eyes + then place the halved blueberries over the cucumber.
- Use the quartered blueberries for nostrils + the strawberry slice for the mouth.
Fun For Little Ones
Feel the bumpy avocado or furry kiwi skin then show little ones how different they look and feel when sliced
Swap this for that
You could make this with broccoli and potato mash instead of avocado and use tomato/red pepper for the mouth, green pepper for nose, peas for eyes and nostrils
