Loveable Ladybugs
Adapted from Batter Up Kids: Delicious Desserts Makes 12 ladybugs

What you need:
12 seedless Green or Red Grapes
12 (6- to 8-inch) wooden skewers or toothpicks
12 whole strawberries
24 mini chocolate chips or dried black currents

Directions:
Step 1. Wash your grapes and strawberries

Step 2. Cut the ends off of the strawberries and cut the grapes in half

Step 3. Slice off the bottom of the strawberries (this will help them to sit flat on the plate)

Step 4. Place a grape on a toothpick or wooden skewer, sliding it all the way to the end

Step 5. Next place the strawberry on the skewer, cut end first, and slide it down to touch the grape

Step 6. Gently score the top of the strawberry to create the appearance of wings

Step 7. Finally, carefully push the pointed ends of the chocolate chips (or dried currants) into the strawberry to make the ladybug’s spots.
