Food Art is the most creative thing you can do with food. You can use any kind of food: vegetables, fruits, meats, desserts, or drinks! You can add black-eyed peas for eyes. In addition, you could carve a fruit to make a shape. You can add all different types of food together to make great masterpiece. You can make your favorite characters from shows or your favorite animal. You can even make the shape of foods out of other foods! It can be a fun activity for you can your friends and family! You can always use little household items to add to your creation. For example, you can use pieces of wire to use as arms and legs. Furthermore, you can use goggle eyes for the eyes. You can either glue parts together or just lay them down on the table. One thing that can be very easy to make is a face out of a pumpkin. Make a hole at the top of the pumpkin around the stem. Then take out all the seeds and pulp. Carve out two eyes. You can either carve all the way through or closely cut it for a 3D effect. Later, cut the mouth. You can have it open and smiling or screaming. Your pumpkin would really come to life!
