Bugs to Eat

Category: Rainy Day Crafts


Materials:

1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/3 cup dry milk powder, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, tiny, thin square crackers, pretzels, shoestring licorice, raisins, toothpicks, bowl

Instructions:

  1. Mix together honey and peanut butter in a bowl.

  2. Add the milk and sesame seeds. Mix well.

  3. Use 1/2 a tablespoon of the mixture to make each "bug". Roll into an oval for a bee-shaped body, into a round body for a ladybug, and so on.

  4. For bees: dip a toothpick into cocoa powder then press lightly across the top of each "bee" to form dark stripes.

  5. Stick a cracker on either side of the "bee" for wings. Poke in thin and short pieces of licorice shoestring candy or pretzels to make legs and antennae for other bugs. The licorice can be looped to make wings.

    Add raisins for eyes.

  6. Chill for 1/2 an hour.
