VEGGIE BUG HEADER

Check out this cute and crafty recipe to entertain the kids and provide your family with a healthy snack 

To make the snail:

Slice a piece of celery about 3 inches long. Shave a bit off the back of the celery stick with a knife so it sits flat. Fill the celery with cream cheese, hummus, guacamole, or any other favorite. Prop a cucumber slice and two pieces of chives or two carrot slivers in the cream cheese or hummus. Make Kix “eyes” by drawing a dot with the black food marker on two pieces of cereal. Place on the front of the snail.

To make the ladybug:

Wash room temperature cherry or grape tomatoes and let dry completely. Use the tip of a black food marker to draw small dots. The tomato surface may resist the marker, so just make small dots. Arrange with a raisin or olive head.

To make the dragonfly:

Arrange 5 or 6 peas for the body. Top with two Kix “eyes” (see above). For the wings, cut pieces of carrot or peppers and arrange around the body.
