Fun Food Art For Kids

By Samantha Jong
May 19, 2016

Our chief marketing mummy Gidania (and her little boy Zyah) put on her creative apron this past weekend at a creative food master class conducted by one of our favourite food artists Lee Samantha who has recently partnered Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts to transform dishes from the hotel’s new Kids Menu into beautiful yet edible works works of art. Inspired by her experience, we have put together a list of parents who have found a fun way to entice their kids to eat healthily. We have to admit, they all look incredibly delicious…

Samantha needs no introduction. The Malaysian mother and International Food artist has garnered plenty of attention for her food art skills. Her journey started in 2008, and she is a firm believer in using fresh, healthy ingredients with minimal wastage.

Hailing from California, mother of six, Sarah makes some of the most elaborate food art meals for her kids. She begun doing so when her daughter started going through the “picky eater” phase.

Chockfull of food shaped like Japanese cartoon characters and scenic photos of Japan, Shirley’s account takes us straight to Japan. Based in Singapore, she started her bento journey in 2011. A self-professed fan of Japanese culture and anything kawaii, she speaks Japanese as well!

 

 

Sawadeeka~~ ?? Thai style lunch. People have been asking me why I haven't made Hello Kitty for a while. So here are 10 Hello Kitties ? Thai basil pork rice and a runny sunny side up (wish I had time to do cutting shot). And Thai Mango Sticky Rice dessert. 今回タイ料理です❣️ 10ハローキティは?いっぱいです…エヘヘ 豚挽き肉とバジル炒めライス。 タイのマンゴーデザート。マンゴーともち米とココナッツミルクの組み合わせが絶妙。 簡単に出来て一気にタイ気分です。 #thaicuisine #thaifood #mangostickyrice #homemade #foodart #hellokitty #sanrio #littlemissbento #feedfeed #whati8today #buzzfeedfood #cookinggram #tablephoto #flatlay #タイ料理 #バジル #マンゴーデザート #ハローキティ #サンリオ

A Norway native, Ida just gave birth to a baby girl. Her food art journey started in 2012, and has taken a hiatus from her full-time job in statistics to be a full-time food artist. Looking at her feed gives you a very clean, healthy feel — perfect for when we feel like a dose of freshness.

 

Using food art to announce her pregnancy – how creative!

@bentomonsters

Owned by Ming, a stay-at-home mummy to two boys. She started making bentos in 2008, when her elder son started going to school. Her food art has a very cutesy vibe, very suitable for children.
