  3. Create the skeleton’s spine first using rounds of cucumber.
  4. Add the slices of capsicum as ribs.
  5. Two large sticks of celery will be the shoulders, followed by two medium carrot sticks for each arm. A mushroom can be each hand.
  6. Arrange the rest of the mushroom slices to be the pelvis bone.
  7. Use celery and carrot sticks to create legs and feet.
  8. Position the bowl of dip as the head and add florets of broccoli for hair, two capers as eyes and a cornichon as the mouth.
