LOVELY OLIVE PENGUINS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Cut the carrot into circles. Cut small triangles out of the carrot circles (approx ⅛ of a circle) . These are "beaks" of our "penguins". Rest part of the carrots circles are "penguins' feet" :) Cut 7 olives alongside and stuff with the cheese (use a toothpick for it). These are "penguins bodies" :) Other 7 whole olives are "penguins' heads". Embed carrot "beaks" into the holes of olive "heads". Now place the stuffed olives (bodies) vertically on the carrot circles (feet). Put olive "heads" with "beaks" horizontally on the "bodies" and fix your penguins with toothpicks. Enjoy the funny olive penguins with your kids!!!
