Method

Cook the potato smiles and croquettes according to the packet instructions and fry the chipolata sausages.
Arrange the potato smiles and croquettes in groups of three to make mummy, daddy and baby. Add halved chipolata sausages to form arms and legs.
Arrange thin strips of carrot for hair (use a zester to make the strips).
Make an apron for mum using gem lettuce and a strip of carrot, wrap a triangle of cheese around the croquette for the baby's nappy, and give the baby a small circle of carrot and a thin slice of spring onion for a dummy.
Make a cap for dad using a cherry tomato and slice of courgette and give him a carrot bow-tie and peas for buttons
