Fun Food For Fussy Little Eaters Book Review and Giveaway via weddings.craftgossip.com

Sometimes the littlest guests at weddings are a bit overlooked. When I received the charming book Fun Food for Fussy Little Eaters by Smita Srivastava, I immediately thought how about fun it would be to include some of these adorable culinary creations in a wedding menu, bridal shower luncheon, or rehearsal dinner.

Kids and adults alike will be eager to nibble on delicious yet healthy appetizers like these pirate boats! What a cute way to serve savories at a nautical-themed wedding celebration.

Fun Food for Fussy Little Eaters: Nosy Fox

I love the creative ideas for creatures of all kinds like this clever fox. A perfect snack for a woodland theme!

Recycled Paper Cylinder Face Art – A Colorful Win for All Ages

I recently stumbled across this super creative project on Instructables – “Face With Recycled Paper Cylinders” – and I had to share it with you all because it’s just the kind of craft that checks all my favorite boxes: recycled materials, hands-on creativity, and fun for literally any age.

The idea is simple but genius—roll strips of recycled paper (think junk mail, old magazines, leftover printer paper) into cylinders, then arrange and glue them to form a unique abstract face. You can make it funky, realistic, Picasso-inspired—whatever your mood or style dictates!

What I really love is the blend of eco-conscious crafting with true artistic expression. This isn’t just another kids’ project—it’s something you could easily do with a group of little ones, a classroom full of teens, or even as an adult art therapy or weekend wind-down activity. It’s super relaxing and surprisingly satisfying seeing all those paper rolls come together to form something new and expressive.

The tutorial itself is easy to follow, with plenty of visuals to guide you along the way. You don’t need any fancy materials—just glue, paper, scissors, and a board or piece of cardboard to serve as your canvas.

I also appreciate how this project leaves so much room for personalization. Want to make it into a full face? Go for it. Prefer to focus on a single eye or mouth? Totally works. You can even play with color schemes by choosing papers with a certain palette, or painting over them once they’re rolled.

In short: this is a total keeper for anyone who loves crafting with purpose. It’s the kind of project that sparks creativity while gently reinforcing the idea that beautiful things can come from what we usually throw away.

Highly recommend giving it a go—solo or with a group. And if you try it, tag me or drop a pic—I’d love to see your recycled masterpiece!
