Dr. Seuss’ birthday is March 2nd so I have seen a lot of fun Dr. Seuss inspired crafts and snack ideas pop up in my newsfeed over the past couple days. I was especially inspired by THIS adorable Lorax snack from Little Nummies and THIS Lorax snack idea from one of my favorite fun food blogs Kitchen Fun with My 3 Sons. So I set out to make my own version!
For the tree trunks I used the rind of watermelon and for the tree tops I used cut up watermelon and mandarin orange slices. As you can see from the picture, I used a small circle cookie cutter to cut into the watermelon and then sliced it in half.
The Lorax is made from cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. I wish I could give you more direction on how to cut it out, but I really just did it all freehand with a small knife. I was going to use candy eyes for the eyes but couldn’t find them so I cut a mini marshmallow in half and put a sprinkle in the middle for the pupil. Not sure how good a marshmallow will taste with cheese and fruit, but oh well 🙂 And obviously the watermelon rind should not be eaten. The text was also cut freehand from a slice of cheddar cheese.
I hope this inspires you to make your own fun Dr. Seuss snack in honor of his day!

Great idea!
I’ll try to put this to good use imdaeimtely.
This is so creative! Love how you made The Lorax snacks. Using watermelon rind for tree trunks is genius. I once tried making a Dr. Seuss-themed treat but used too much icing. How did you keep the cheese shapes from falling apart?
