Carnivorous Plants Food Art
This may by far be my strangest post yet, but indulge me: Monkey loves carnivorous plants. Fascinated by them. As a result, we all know about not just venus fly traps but also pitcher plants, waterwheels, and sundews.
And so, like any good mother, I try to feed my son’s interests (sorry, couldn’t help it!) plus inject a little fun into the whole proceedings.
Thus, our carnivorous plants food art – enjoy!
Carnivorous Plants Food Art
Venus Fly Trap
Ah, those poor little beans, caught in a clever tortilla trap!
Note the trigger hairs inside the trap itself. Watch out, raisins! You don’t want to touch those!
Long-Leafed Sundew
Ay, poor cranberries, caught in a sticky honey trap!
Pitcher Plants
The hapless raisins, forever stilled by the plant’s evil jello walls
And finally, the innocent chocolate chips take a final slide down the slippery ice cream slopes to their doom.
How are you having fun with your kids lately??

Fun, and yummy!!!
Thank you so much! I can’t tell you how much fun this post was to put together.
Hilarious and tasty! I do believe that your little monkeys will always remember the attributes of carnivorous plants :^)
Thank you! I think you are right 😉
Can I ask how you did the jello pitcher plants in the mugs? Did you just do the jello and then remove the inner part leaving some on the walls? I have a nephew that loves carnivorous plants (especially the pitcher plants!) and is going to be celebrating his birthday at my house during Thanksgiving and wanted a carnivorous plant party! Thanks!
First of all, what a cool theme for a party!! I’d love to hear how it turns out!! Actually I poured the jello into the mugs then after it started to set I put a smaller cup inside. (I waited until it had set a little so it didn’t sink all the way to the bottom). I’m sure just scooping it out would work too! Good luck!
