Most parents tell their kids not to play with their food, but this talented Australian mom turns her son's meals into works of art that resemble his favorite cartoon characters. Laleh Mohmedi wanted to encourage her son, Jacob, to eat more healthy foods, so she decided to get creative.


From expressive Pixar monsters to spot-on Spongebob Squarepants, Mohmedi reproduces a range of beloved childhood icons out of meat, pasta, and other dinner staples. After snapping a photo of each edible work of art, Mohmedi shares it on her Instagram page, Jacob’s Food Diaries, with over 270,000 followers. Check out 35 of her best down below.
