This is the simplest recipe of all. Your toddler could make this with you. In fact, it’s a perfect toddler recipe! And it’s a 2 ingredient recipe - who doesn’t love those eh? If you don’t have any celery knocking around, you could use cucumber instead.
Per child 1 easy peel mandarin orange
about an inch of celery stalk
Peel the mandarin. Using the safe knife - chop a slim piece of celery longways.
Stick the celery into the top of the mandarin and you’ve made a pumpkin!

2. Chocolate apple mummies

To make the spooky chocolate eyes, melt a few white chocolate chips and using a teaspoon, drop small amounts of the white chocolate onto a piece of kitchen paper. This makes the whites of the eyes! Let these set while we do the rest of the apple. Watch how to make the spooky eyes here .
