Buzzarre Veggie Bugs
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!
