Make sure they buy two of each item–one to carve and one to eat! Give them a shopping basket of their own and let them choose produce that inspires their creativity. Younger kids can sort through the produce to find food that reminds them of an animal (or a vehicle) and kids old enough to wield a knife can, with supervision, create animals of their own.Įven better, after your kids have had a chance to see the Google images and enjoy the photos in the Freymenn/Elffers books, take them to the market with you. If it’s one of those days when you’re stuck in the house with kids-a snow day, or the 40th day of rain, or a day just too hot to leave the air conditioning-get out a carving knife and the fruits and veggies from the crisper and create your own menagerie! What fun!Ī further search might introduce you to the delightful food art and photography of Saxton Freymann, published in a series of children’s picture books in collaboration with Joost Elffers. Do a quick Google search for images related to “playing with food,” and this is a page that might pop up. This compact collection will surprise and delight both fans of the series, and newcomers to the enchanting world of Food Play.
Now, for the first time, Food Play compiles more than 300 of the very best images from a decade of astonishingly imaginative publishing.
With more than a million copies sold and an award-winning series under their belts, the pair have proven the old adage wrongyou really should play with your food.
