Regular Junior Society readers are likely aware of my fondness for play food. And those who’ve met me in person are likely aware of my fondness for actual food. So you can only imagine my delight this past week when the Crafty Crow announced their Funny Food Contest, a competition combining the charm and humor of play food with the tastiness of edible food! Brilliant. Read all about their call for entries by junior culinary crafters (and their adult helpers) here. The deadline is June 23rd, so I’ve included a few images below to help get you cookin’!

1. Bee, 2. Funny food for kids, 3. Playing with food, 4. Playing with Food #2: The Reindeer, 5. Don’t play with your food!, 6. Carrot & butternut lion, 7. Veggie Animals, 8. The vegetable men are coming!, 9. Pizza Mau, 10. courgette tortoise
