    Peel and cut each banana in half. Lightly press the chocolate chips into the banana to create the 'face,' 2 eyes; tip-side facing out, and 1 'open mouth'; tip-side pressed into the banana, so the flat side is showing.

    Next, peel the mandarin oranges. Cut the celery into four equal-sized pieces, then cut each celery piece in half lengthwise. Put the celery in the middle of the orange, leaving a little showing for the 'stem.'
