12 times this mum made a fussy toddler’s dinner dream come true

Does the thought of feeding your little one broccoli make you dread dinner time? Are you tired of making promises and thinking of new ideas (and rewards) to try and encourage your toddler to eat just ONE MORE SPOONFUL?

We feel you. And we can’t help but be BLOWN away by this Aussie mum and her unique solution to the fussy eating issue.

12 times this mum made a fussy toddler’s dream come true

Laleh Mohmedi is a mum from Melbourne, Australia who has made dinner time a veggie enticing ART SHOW for her little ones.

The mum-of-two makes delicious and healthy meals for her kiddies using basic everyday food staples (think mashed potatoes, red peppers and flatbread) HOWEVER serves their meals as oh so incredible food sculptures, inspired by their favourite characters.

And guess what, her fussy eaters are more than THRILLED to tuck into dinner.

Thankfully for us, she uploads her delicious and AH-MAZING meals to her Instagram Page Jacob’s Food Diaries.

Here are 12 times Laleh blew us away with her creations.
