Kids in the Kitchen: Soot Sprites (#GhibliGourmet)



Many of you by now know that I am very fond of anime. But what started my fondness for the genre? The answer, my friends, is Studio Ghibli and the mastermind Miyazaki.

From Totoro to Kiki, I loved Miyazaki films even at a point when I didn't care for almost any animation.

Of course, I have shared this love with my children. My daughter carries a Totoro backpack she affectionately calls “Totie” and my son begs to watch Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.

If I were to ever have a play room for the kids, it would be decked out in Ghibli goodness.

So, when the kiddos started wanting to help out in the kitchen, I thought of a nifty little snack that they can make for themselves, no Mommy needed!

Soot sprites!

Soot sprites are little creatures featured in My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away. The are shown as pitch black round fuzzy creatures with large eyes and sometimes are seen to have long thin legs, and they are really cute!

The soot sprites we make are just as adorable as the ones in the movies, but don't make little hands all sooty black!

This is less a recipe than simple instructions - and by all means, let your kids put them together for themselves!

Soot Sprites

Oreo Cookies
White Decorator Frosting
Candy Eyes

On each Oreo put two little dots of frosting to secure the candy eyes. That's it! You now have kawaii soot sprites!

If you're feeling really ambitious, you could cut thin black licorice ropes and tuck them into the white filling of the Oreo cookie to create legs.

These are a perfect snack for watching a Miyazaki movie!

I'm sharing this post with this month's Fandom Foodies round up - the theme this month, hosted by Onion Chopping Ninja Chef, is all things GHIBLI!  Head over here to see what others are doing.

  11. Aww...these are too cute. Although, I don't think my teens would have the patience to add eyes and would eat the Oreos as-is :-)

  15. One of the most popular gel nail designs is definitely flowers. You can paint a single flower on each nail, or go all out and cover the entire nail in a floral design. For something a little different, try painting flowers with glitter or rhinestones in the center.

  19. The phrase take my course is often used to express a desire for someone else to complete a course on behalf of an individual. While the temptation to seek shortcuts in education may arise, it's important to recognize that the true value of learning lies in personal engagement and understanding. Simply asking someone to take my course diminishes the essence of education, which is about acquiring knowledge, developing skills, and fostering critical thinking. Embracing the learning process, actively participating in courses, and seeking help when needed contribute to a more enriching educational experience and better long-term outcomes.
