Octopus Banana

by Grandma Lizzie


I saw this idea in a magazine and thought I would try it out on my 2 year old grandson. He thought it was a toy, not something to eat.

Just peel the banana about half way and cut out the fruit, leaving the skin. Make 8 legs, add eyes ( I used permanent marker) and put on a plate. Now you have a fun way to serve a nutritious snack.

He is sooooo cute. He must have cute parents ! He loves you and that is such a fun thing.

I can’t believe he sat there while I took the photo. I thought he’d rip it to pieces before I could get the shot. I think he knew he was posing.

This is so delightfully fun! I’ll have to remember it when I have an opportunity to feed our grandson!
