This artful breakfast is made by Zhuang Xiaohua, mother of a 7-year-old girl in Xiamen, Fujian province. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]

Using food items, she started by making simple artistic shapes. She then designed new patterns in different colors and then scenes — all the while paying special attention to nutritional balance. For instance, she uses apple slices instead of potato chips, oranges to make different animals, cucumbers to make grass and bushes. The ideas come from her daughter's pictures and scenes described in textbooks.

It takes Zhuang 15 minutes to half an hour to make such a fanciful breakfast. Now her daughter eats more than before, and the food is better for her.

Tips:

- Fruits can be made into different patterns easily.

- White toast can be made into bunnies

- Whole wheat toast can be made into a bear.

- Buying small pots and pans avoids waste.
