The Deep Blue Sea Veggie Snack

This silly vegetable snack is perfect for serving after reading The Deep Blue Sea.The Deep Blue Sea Veggie Snack

This month’s Book Club Play Date features The Deep Blue Sea, by Audrey Wood.

This book is a lovely story that describes items in the sea, all with a different colour. The brown nut, on the green tree, on the red rock and so on. It’s been ages since I made some fun food, so I decided to do an edible version of this book!The Deep Blue Sea Veggie Snack

To make this veggie snack I cut a red bell pepper in half, scooped out the seeds, then placed it cut-side-down on a dark blue plate. Then I trimmed some broccoli, cut a hole in the top of the pepper and placed the broccoli inside the hole. (And no, I’m not suggesting your child eat this entire huge stalk of broccoli – it will need to be cut into smaller pieces when they come to eat it!)The Deep Blue Sea Veggie Snack

Then I cut a small section from an orange bell pepper, flattened it out, and used a butterfly-shaped cookie cutter to make the orange butterfly.The Deep Blue Sea Veggie Snack

I made a little brown nut from a piece of mushroom. I didn’t manage the purple bird, the black spot or the other items – because I thought it looked near enough at this point. But I did add some coloured fish crackers to the “water”.The Deep Blue Sea Veggie Snack

Note: This fun snack did leave lots of unused vegetables pieces – which were perfect for stir-frying as a side dish which my husband and I ate for dinner that evening!

If you love this book as much as we do, then check out the other Book Club Play Date activity ideas from my co-hosts!
