Food Art: Critter Snack

These adorable little critter snacks are so simple to make!  All you need is a heart-shaped cookie cutter, a few ingredients and you’re ready to go!

What You’ll Need

Ingredients (for 2 bugs):

1 large slice of watermelon

2 red grapes

1 baby carrot

A handful of Berry Kix cereal

4 white sprinkles (optional)

Tools:

A heart-shaped cookie cutter

A kitchen knife (please supervise children if allowing them to slice)

How To Make It

1. Use your heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut 2 hearts out of your slice of watermelon.  Place these hearts on a plate.

2. Grab the purple Kix from your handful of Berry Kix cereal and place 6 pieces of cereal on each watermelon heart.

3. Using your knife, slice 4 thin strips off your baby carrot.  Stick 2 of these carrot strips in the pointed part of each watermelon heart so they stick up like antennae.  Stick a red grape in front of the carrot antennae for the head.  Optionally, you can stick 2 white sprinkles in each red grape for some eyes if you wish.
