3. Use the tips of the skewers to place dots of mayonnaise for sticking the eyes.

4. Use the stems of the vegetables to stick them together or use them as the nose or tail.

5. Craft it together with your child and let the kids snack on the snack vegetables in the meantime. Have fun!

Note: Small fruits and vegetables such as snack tomatoes or grapes should only be given to children under 1 year old in halves or quarters. Stay with your child while crafting with the prickers until he or she is old enough to use them independently.

Pregnant? Snack vegetables like snack tomatoes and peppers contain vitamin C, which in turn helps your body absorb iron from plant products better. Handy, because you need iron extra much during pregnancy.
