Flower Pot Veggies
This is not only fun to make, but we hope that it will inspire those finicky eaters to eat some veggies
List of Ingredients
1 New and Clean Clay Flower Pot
1 New and Clean Clay Flower Pot Tray (small)
Florist Marbles
1 Round Styrofoam Ball (to fit the top of pot and stand half way out of pot)
Round Colored Toothpicks
1 Package of Baby Carrots
1 Package of Broccoli Florets
1 Yellow Squash (cut into small squares)
1 Container of Cherry Tomatoes
1 Head of Cauliflower (cut flowers from head)
1 Bunch of Curly Lettuce
Recipe
Wash and dry the flower pots. Place enough of the marbles in the flower pot to fill pot halfway up to stabilize pot so it will be weighted and will not tip over.
Place the Styrofoam ball on top of the flower pot. The ball should fit snugly in the mouth of the pot and stick out of the top halfway.
Place leafs of lettuce around Styrofoam ball and secure with toothpicks.
Place toothpicks into the end of the vegetables and arrange into ball. Works best when you place large pieces first then arrange the rest.
Toothpicks will stand out three fourths lengths of the toothpicks, from the ball with veggies on the ends.
Let your imagination do the rest. A bow on the flower pot makes a nice touch.
Place a piece of plastic wrap inside of the small clay tray and pour your favorite dip in. It makes a eye catching and delicious vegetable dish display for a patio dinner or snack.
