The Crazily Creative Way One Mum Makes Heathy Food Fun!

For many of us itβs a struggle making sure our kids eat a wide variety of foods as well as eating enough serves of fruit and vegetables.
One Mum has come up with a fun and creative idea to help her two year old son eat well by preparing and presenting his meals in the shapes of his favourite cartoon characters.

Melbourne based Laleh Mohmedi says she has always been passionate about advocating healthy and organic food for children and says her idea to create fun meals for her son Jacob came about when:Β βA few months ago I decided to turn Jacobβs pancakes into a lion which could have easily passed as a bear – he absolutely loved it and it progressed from thereβ¦. Every night before bed Jacob requests a character that he would like for me to make the next day – these characters are from books, toys, cartoons or something that has caught his eye that day – he has even asked for Michael Jackson!β
