Strawberry Ladybug

Strawberry Ladybug

Time:15 min Difficulty:Easy  

Quick! Check out these berry sweet ladybugs! Who knows if you’ll be able to spot them next time?

Here’s what you need:

  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries or grapes
  • Licorice
  • 1 cup of chocolate spread (or chocolate chips)
  • A sealable plastic bag

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: Cut up your fruit for your ladybug’s body, and head. You’ll need:

  • Half a strawberry for your bug’s body.
  • Half a blueberry (or grape) for your ladybug’s head.

Step 2: Put some chocolate spread into a sealable plastic bag.

If you don’t have any chocolate spread, make your own by asking a grown-up to help melt the chocolate chips. Wait until it’s room temperature before putting it into the bag.

Step 3: Cut one of the bottom corners of the chocolate bag and carefully make tiny dots on your strawberries. These will be your ladybug’s spots.

Step 4: To “glue” your ladybug’s head, add a bunch of chocolate to the top of your strawberry. Gently place the blueberry or grape on top.

Step 5: Finish your ladybug by adding antennae and legs! Get an adult to help you cut your licorice into six pieces, and poke these into your strawberry.

Beetle be ready to taste your delicious strawberry ladybugs!
