Yesterday, in the LIFE Skills class that I am observing for, I did a cooking lesson.  They had been talking about the circus so I decided to have them make clown faces out of vegetables and cottage cheese.  They loved it!! They tried all the different vegetables and some even tried the cottage cheese.

Here are all of the different faces they made!  We had so much fun!

Here's how to do it!
take a scoop of cottage cheese and have the child spread it into a circle on the plate.
Use shredded carrots for the hair, a cherry tomato for the nose, 2 slices of cucumbers for eyes, and a strip of red bell pepper for the smile!  you can substitute any raw veggie for anything that your child may not like.  I thought that you could use veggie dip instead of cottage cheese and olives instead of the cucumbers or whatever else you find!

Enjoy a healthy snack!
