Sparkle Craft: Funny Food Faces

In this week’s Martin & Sylvia: Saturdays! story, “Apple Faces,” Martin and Sylvia dive into apple season, making sauce and dried apples. To make it all even more fun, they cut a mouth and nose before dehydrating with a little knife, so their dried apples will look like funny faces.

Playing with your food can be crazy amounts of fun. Toss in a special porcelain plate and you’re all set to make fun food faces at snack time or anytime!
