Buzzarre Veggie Bugs

Buzzarre Veggie Bugs

Time:20 min Difficulty:Easy  

What’s that we hear? Is it your stomach?!
Slide on over, we’ve got some super snacks to buzz about!

Here’s what you need:

  • Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
  • Cucumber
  • Chive
  • Cream Cheese
  • Help from an adult

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: Start by cutting a few small cucumber slices. You’ll need these for your bugs’ wings and shells.

Next, halve the remaining cucumber, and slice it into long strands.

Step 2: Use a spoon to remove all the seeds from the cucumber. After that, spoon some cream cheese along your cucumber strands.

Step 3: Ask an adult to help make two tiny holes in some of your cherry/grape tomatoes. Slide the chives in to create your bug’s head!

Step 4: Lay your bug’s head on the edge of the cucumber. Next, decide if you want to make a snail or a fly. They’ve got different instructions:

SNAIL: Lay a cucumber slide sideways and there you have it: a shell!
FLY: Add 2-3 more cherry/grape tomatoes behind the head. Halve your cucumber slides in two, and slide them in on each side of the cucumber to create wings!

That’s it! Not so bizarre after all? Enjoy~
