Ladybugs You Can Eat
By Michele Reyzer
These strawberry ladybugs are a sweet summer treat. They're easy to make—and tasty, too!
What You Need:
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Mini chocolate-chips
- Toothpicks
- String licorice
How to Make One Ladybug:
- Wash a strawberry and remove the stem and leaves.
- For the ladybug’s head, push a toothpick into the top of a strawberry, leaving about half an inch sticking out. Press a blueberry onto the toothpick.
- For the ladybug’s spots, push the pointed ends of some mini chocolate-chips into the strawberry.
- For the legs, push six small pieces of licorice into the strawberry, as shown.
Now, make a few more ladybugs and arrange them on a plate or a leaf of lettuce.
