To cut the pattern in the Babybel cheese, I used an X-acto knife and a straw. They came out far from perfect, but the kids thought they were fun. The Girl thought the bow on her ladybug was the best part. The Kid didn't get a bow on his. Ya know, 'cause it was a boy ladybug. :o)
The sammie is peanut butter and honey. Cheddar for the wings. Carrots and apples around the rim.
Here's lunch on the plate:
I'm so happy to know your kids had fun creating these ladybugs!

Hi - love them! So cute. But wondering how long it took? I don't know if I'd have the patience but loving the end result.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute lunch :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ebabee! The Xacto knife actually worked pretty slick and cut through the wax really easily. It was the straw that was a pain in the butt. I needed something similar, but metal and couldn't come up with anything.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday! I wanted to thank you for sharing this delicious recipe at Recipe Sharing Monday. The new party is now up and I'd love for you to link up again :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! What did you use for the eyes on each one?
ReplyDeleteThanks! For the cheese ladybug I used that writing gel you can buy in the cake decorating section of the grocery store. The icing eyes on the other one I bought at JoAnn Fabrics.
