Watermelon Owl Food Art
This healthy food art owl is sure to make your head spin because it’s simple, nutritious and delicious. It’s a fantastic way to get the kids eating healthy and thinking creatively. We don’t want to encourage kids to mess with their food, but to view everything as an opportunity to be creative can only be a good thing. Inspiring them to think this way at an early age will have positive effects throughout their lives, which reminds me of a quote ‘habits change into character’. If we can inspire the youth to be healthy and creative then that has to be a positive change for everyone! And we’re in a position to help this become a reality too!

Kale, Oranges, Bananas, Green (String/Snap) Beans and Blueberries – all have lots of vitamin C in them which makes your body’s defensive shield (immune system) stronger! Vitamin C also makes you happy too!
Carrots and Kale – are high in vitamin A which helps you to see better, you might even be able to see in the dark!
Bananas – are good all rounders in the fruit community, but they have a lot of vitamin b (or more specifically B-6) which gives you energy and also helps your brain develop which will help you to be clever!
