Anthropomorphic food in 1948 Children's Activities recipes

Children's Activities for Home and School was a large-size (10½ inches by 13½ inches) staplebound magazine published during the middle 20th century by Child Training Assocation Inc. of Chicago. It seems that "Fun in the Kitchen," edited by Louise Price Bell, was a regular feature that showcased recipes submitted by children. (The guidelines do stipulate: "No recipe will be accepted for publication, however, if it is not accompanied by Mother's statement" the the recipe has been checked for accuracy.)

The recipes in the January 1948 issue of the magazine are accompanied by cute illustrations of anthropomorphic food by Sonia Roetter. (For more about Roetter, check out the sleuthing done by Rachel for a 2017 post on The Wandering Bunny blog.) 

The recipes and illustrations are pictured below. For search engine purposes, they are:

• Scalloped Potatoes by Evelyn M. Gavin of Lindsay, Montana
• Bran Muffins by Robert Ann Edgcomb of Ottawa, Illinois
• Tossed Salad by Sally Glensky of Tarentum, Pennsylvania
• Icebox Pudding by Pete Beltemacchi of Chicago, Illinois
• Rice Krispies Cookies by Betsy Pierce of Bismarck, North Dakota
