Author: Eat Pretty Darling

Kids love sweet corn but sometimes a whole corn on the cob can be difficult to eat. Try slicing the cobs into smaller rounds and transforming them into sunflowers! The cobs are smaller so they're easier to eat and the sunflower "food art" becomes a special treat.

Ingredients

• 1 corn cob, cooked
• Green toothpicks
• Black olives, sliced

Instructions

1. Slice the corn cob into one inch rounds. Stick a toothpick in one end and top with a black olive in the center.
2. Kids can pick them up by the toothpick or just hold them in their hands to nibble around the edges and eat the “petals” of the sunflower.
