We also made a hippo by using three pears for the head and body. We used miniature marshmallows for the teeth, a sesame stick for the tail, and cloves for the nose and eyes. The ears were made from fruit leather.

We made the cobra from a piece of rainbow fruit leather. The head eyes, and tongue were additional pieces of fruit leather which we cut out and stuck in place. Finally we "wove" the cobra onto a drinking straw.

The pyramid cake above is our own creation. The ideas for the hippo and cobra came from Crayola Kids magazine. See our Resources section for more information.
