When I was asked to conjure up a Spooky Fruit as part of AlexandAlexa's Halloween competition I couldn't resist. With a Fruit Monster for a toddler I knew there was nothing he'd like better than to play with, and eat, than some fruit! Obviously it had to involve blueberries as apparently they are irresistible. Too worried about toddler's short attention span to try actual fruit moulding or major modification I decided upon a Retro theme that he totally won't get but I would enjoy...
Pacman. Of course. A round figure handily formed of the end of an apple (do apples have ends? Or sides for that matter?). And blueberries to collect. And Apple Ghosts obviously. I had to make a fair number of each though as they kept being eaten. Tssk who was this competition for anyway?! The Spooky Spaghetti appeared alarmingly alluring, and most fiddly to replace. Pesky toddler fingers finding it fun to wave about in the air...
So here's our five minutes of Spooky Fruit fun as our competition entry. A rush job as all jobs involving an under -2 are a rush. So here's to Halloween and to fruit loving toddlers everywhere. And gosh, Apple Ghosts are yummy!
