Turn Food Into An Art to Get Your Kids To Eat

Many parents have trouble getting their kids to eat their food.

One dad in Britain solved this problem by turning food into cartoons.

Mark Northeast's has been able to get his 6-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son to eat things they never otherwise would by creating food art, like a space rocket sandwich with stars made of cheese and a SpongeBob SquarePants sandwich made from sausage, bread and tomatoes.

"Some people think I'm a bit mad, especially with the effort that goes into some of them, but I believe even the simplest ones will have a positive effect on a child not wanting to eat, so why not try?" Northeast said.

Northeast has posted photos of his creations on his Website at FunkyLunch.com and plans to publish a book.

Cute designs but way too much work.

All I can say is start early introducing new foods. Don't be afraid to use spices (not hot) to help make it more interesting.

We always made our daughter what we call our own egg mcmuffins but we could never get our 5 year old son to eat eggs so I decided one day to cook his in a blues clues shaped chair bowl in the microwave and since then we have no trouble getting him to eat eggs. In fact he loves eggs now and we no longer have to use the blues clues bowl so it really does work and I would do anything as well to get my kids to eat healthy!
