It's no secret that I like to celebrate minor holidays. It's also no secret that in the Main house, Saturday morning is pancake morning! So it should be no surprise that a Saturday morning Groundhog's Day would lead to some fun results.
I started with the idea from {HappyLittleArt} and put my own spin on it (mostly to keep supply costs down!).
1. I made two pancakes, one medium size and the other small. I put the small pancake down first and then the medium one on top. I molded the hot pancake with my hand so that it would resemble a hill.
2. Next I squished my thumb in the center to make a resting place for Mr. Groundhog's head. I then put his donut hole head into the divot.
3. I squished Cheerios in the top of his head for ears.
4. I bought icing (I never buy icing; I must have been tired this morning!) and used the white icing to "glue" on the brown mini M&Ms for eyes. BTW, spend the time looking for the mini M&Ms. The photos I looked at on-line of groundhogs with large M&M eyes looked ridiculous!
4. I "glued" on a red mini M&M for the nose, this time being careful not to let the icing show underneath.
5. I colored a bit of my white icing with carob powder to make it brown. Then I iced on his mouth.
6. Finally, I added a bit of white icing to the bottom of the smile to make teeth.
It's that simple! To check out last year's Groundhog's Day fun, click here.
