Fun Foods for Fussy Kids

If you've got a picky eater at the table, serve something special and nutritious that any kid will devour with pleasure. Sandwiches in the shape of rabbits, a flying vegetable airplane (with passengers), a tropical pizza with a smiling face: each dish tastes so good and looks irresistibly colorful and creative. How imaginative can you get? Try this to tempt your little ones: take some small sausages, link them, and create a merry creature with a multitude of legs, a tail, antennae, and raisin eyes. Or prepare an appealing teddy bear tart out of bread, carrot puree, cucumber, tomato, and zucchini. Clown around with a jester made of fruits--a pear body; legs of banana, berry, and kiwi; and a raspberry nose. And, of course, don't forget the sweets--like a really cool cow cake with ice-cream cone horns and chocolate sprinkles! Each yummy treat turns mealtime into fun time.
