Potato Heads

This fun activity for kids doubles as a healthy side dish. An adult should carefully remove the toothpicks before eating.

You will need:

1 large baking potato for each child

An assortment of vegetables cut into small pieces, such as carrots, radishes, celery, cucumbers (You may also want to use other items, such as raisins, olives or almonds)

Lettuce, alfalfa sprouts or parsley for hair

Toothpicks

Method:

1. Scrub the potatoes.
   
   
2. Make a face on your potato using the cut up vegetables. Hold them in place using the toothpicks. Be creative!
   
   
3. Poke a few holes in the back of the potato using a fork.
   
   
4. Bake your potato in the oven at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until it feels soft when poked with a fork.
   
   
5. Carefully remove the toothpicks and eat.
