Safety Notes
  • Make sure decorative items are age-appropriate sizes
  • Check that all "face parts" are soft enough for your child
  • Remove any items that are too hard or too large
  • Trust your parental instincts - you know your child best
Chef's Tips
  • There are no rules - if it's safe to eat, it can be a face part
  • Let your toddler help decorate for extra engagement
  • Make multiple faces and tell a story about the "toast family"
  • If your toddler destroys it immediately, that means they like it
  • Keep a photo album of your toast face creations for giggles later
  • Remember: wonky faces are the best faces
For Picky Eaters
