How EASY is this darling ladybug appetizer veggie tray? It doesn't have to take a lot of work to make healthy food fun!
4. Fruit Caterpillar
This fruit caterpillar by Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons is the spitting image of Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar! I love that it's all made from fruit and so simple to recreate.
5. Apricot Bees
I can hardly get over the buzz about these apricot bees from The Cookie Fairy! How cute are these!? And not too hard to make either.
If you're planning a bee party, Momma to BEE baby shower, or what will it BEE gender reveal – these are the perfect nature snack for you!

Another simple but elegant fruit flower display courtesy of Parents Magazine. Love how easy these would be for any summer party.

These veggie insects from I Love Vegan may look complicated but this food art is not too difficult to recreate. A few fruits and veggies arranged just so and you've created a magical world of insects to explore!
8. Pretzel Butterflies
How about these sweet little pretzel butterflies from Bitz n Giggles? Love the colorful fruit leather wings.
9. Animal Toast
If PBJ's are a daily occurrence in your house, try mixing things up with these animal toasts by All She Cooks.
10. Homemade Goldfish Crackers {Gluten-Free Recipe}
We have goldfish cracker lovers in our house and I'm guessing you might too! But what about your gluten-free friends? Even tried to MAKE your own crackers? This recipe for allergy free goldfish crackers from Strength and Sunshine is as fun as it is delicious.
11. Strawberry Mushrooms
You cannot get any easier than these strawberry mushrooms! Perched atop a Paper Eskimo straw in fallen logs and moss, this is the best woodland – fairy garden – snack I've seen yet!
12. Chocolate Acorns
A little sweet treat with these chocolate acorns. So easy and fun we should probably make them often! Check out the rest of the wood party from Your Bella Fiesta.
13. Hedgehog Cheeseball
This little hedgehog cheeseball from Kenzie's Events is almost too cute to eat! Adding the almond slices is a labor of love but totally worth it when you end up with this!

I’m seriously dying over these fabulously cute food crafts! I want to make them for me too!
I think adults would actually appreciate them even more than the kids. At least we realize the amount of effort that goes into it! But yes, food art is way more fun to eat!
