Preparation

Preheat oven to 425oF (220oC).

Place all toppings on the table.

Place one bun in front of each child and invite them to garnish and decorate their pumpkins. Start with the sauce, followed by the orange Cheddar and the decorations.

Place the topped pizzas on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Invite the children to identify their pizzas by writing their names next to them on the parchment. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes. Finish decorating with cold white Cheddar, then let them enjoy their own mini-pizzas.
