Do you like browsing #cutefoods on Instagram? There was a time this became a nightly habit for me and my son. We would look at cute foods and bentos before going to bed and try replicating them the next day. Moms can be very creative with preparing and decorating meals to be more attractive for kids. I wish I can do it everyday and without the need to buy fancy molds, cutters, etc.

Then I saw this TV commercial (UFC Color Crazee): Colored ketchup that comes in decorating-friendly bottles! UFC Color Crazee Catsup has four colors: Bubbly Blue, Goofy Green, Yummy Yellow, and Radiant Red.
I got the cutebox set for Ashton (P58) but you can buy each color for just P15. Here are some of our #UFCColorCrazee creations:
Aside from enjoying his afternoon snack, my son observed how when the different colors of catsup are mixed – creates a new color. Try these:
Yellow + Red = Orange
Yellow + Blue = Green
Red + Blue = Violet
There are more inspirations if you search the hashtag on Instagram. The bottles with adjustable tips make it so easy to dispense, control, and decorate food with the colored catsup. Just make sure you remove the entire seal, see below:
This is to avoid blockage and to enjoy a continuous smooth flow of catsup. When done, I recommend wiping the tips with tissue right away to avoid ants, mold, and other icky situations. Our second creation, this time for breakfast.
We also discovered that the cutebox includes a maze at the back. I cut this out for Ashton to answer, more kiddie activity for him and for free! All in all, the P58 was worth it and provides hours of fun for parents and kids. The good news is you can use UFC Color Crazee Catsup over again and decorate food with minimal effort but still,mlots of creativity.
The tipped container is also easy to handle enough for kids so they can try their hands in making cute foods too. Of course, all the colors and art is encouraging for kids to eat more and actually finish their food. Read: picky eaters.
