Steps:

• Cut the carrot into circles. Cut small triangles out of the carrot circles (approx ⅛ of a circle) . These are "beaks" of our "penguins". Rest part of the carrots circles are "penguins' feet" :) Cut 7 olives alongside and stuff with the cheese (use a toothpick for it). These are "penguins bodies" :) Other 7 whole olives are "penguins' heads". Embed carrot "beaks" into the holes of olive "heads". Now place the stuffed olives (bodies) vertically on the carrot circles (feet). Put olive "heads" with "beaks" horizontally on the "bodies" and fix your penguins with toothpicks. Enjoy the funny olive penguins with your kids!!!

Steps:

• 1. Cut a slit from top to bottom into one side of jumbo olive. Carefully insert 1 tsp. cream cheese into olive.
• 2. Cut carrots into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Cut a small notch out of each carrot slice to form feet. Save the cut out piece and press into center of small olive to form beak. If necessary cut a small slit in olive before inserting the beak.
• 3. Set a big olive, large hole side down, onto a carrot slice. Then set a small olive onto the large olive, adjusting so that the beak, cream cheese chest, and notch in the carrot slice line up. Secure with a toothpick.
