I get it, yes they are cute... But kids are not stupid. They are still going to snubb veggies if they don't like them, no matter what they look like. I could see for maybe a kids party but not everyday. Moms and dads already have enough on our plates.

I think these are great ideas! If the kids don't like some of these veggies, I am sure you can always subsitute another favorite of theirs. Plus, it is a great way to introduce new veggies to a kid. Thanks for your ideas.
