Food Art: A Shark for Breakfast

Kix cereal just happens to be one of my kids favorite breakfasts.  Couple that with an adorable shark, and you’ve got yourself a winner!  This shark breakfast was super fun to make, and did I mention that it’s easy too?!  Whip one of these bad boys up for your kids and get ready for the smiles and laughter.

What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

1 English muffin

2 tbsp. of blueberry jam

3 slices of red apple

2 black currants (or raisins)

1 cup of Kix cereal

Tools:

A kitchen knife (please supervise children if allowing them to slice)

How To Make It

1. Grab some Kix cereal and spread them in an even layer on a plate.

2. Slice your English muffin in half.  Spread one half with blueberry jam and place on top of the Kix cereal on the plate.

3. Using your knife, slice 3 triangles from the remaining half of English muffin.  Spread blueberry jam on these triangles and place them on the shark for fins.

4. Finally, let’s add a face.  Take your apple slices and cut out 2 large circles.  Place these large circles on the shark for eyes and finish them off with 2 black currants (or raisins).  Slice 1 thin strip of red skin from the apple and place on the shark for a smile.  Lastly, cut 7 small triangles out of the apple and alternate them from top to bottom along the shark’s smile.
