Creative Mom Turns Her Kids Food Into Works Of Art

Brazil resident Nívea Salgado was headed towards a promising degree in Dentistry after earning her Master’s and Doctor degrees. However, once her daughter was born she decided to give up her career and focus on being a full-time mommy.

But her journey doesn’t end there, Salgado wanted to have fun with her daughter, while providing her with balanced meals. But there was a problem, Catarina quickly became a picky easier who only wanted to eat apples.

Realizing that her daughter needed more than apples for a balanced diet, Salgado decided to put her Dentistry-enabled motor skills to the test, creating fantastical food creations that would amuse her daughter enough to eat a full meal.

Did this mom solve the “picky eater” problem? It might not work for every child, but it is definitely worth a try. Even if your child isn’t a picky eater, this trick could convince them to eat more fruits and veggies.
