Funny Fruit Face
Eat my face, big guy! These fun and funny gelatin faces are as cool to make as they are to devour. All you need is a few small paper plates, clean hands, and lots of wacky imagination. You can vary the flavor and look by using different colors of gelatin and a variety of canned fruit. It's unbelievable how much healthful fruit picky eaters can pack away while they're preoccupied by playing with their food.
