Bug Party Menu Ideas

Bug Farm
Graham crackers or light brown cookies
Raisins
Red hots or red candies
Chocolate sprinkles
Crush several graham crackers in a ziploc baggie with a rolling pin or kitchen mallet. Add to the bag several raisins (for bugs), red hots (for ladybugs) and chocolate sprinkles (for ants). Enjoy eating your eatable bug farm.

Ladybugs

Make ladybugs from cupcakes by decorating with white frosting and sprinkle with red sugar. Add black licorice for legs and mini chocolate chips for spots.

For another type of ladybug use a large red apple sliced in half. Remove core and seeds. Place on a plate with the red on the top. Attach with peanut butter, licorice for antennas and chocolate chips for eyes.

Slice the top off of a cherry tomato and stuff with tuna salad, find the recipe here. Use whole cloves for eyes but make sure kids take them out before eating and decorate spots with cream cheese or chopped black olives. Antennas can be chopped chives or green onion stems.

Caterpillars and Chrysalis

Refrigerated dough biscuits, crescent rolls or homemade dough caterpillar in a chrysalis
Hot dogs whole or cut in half
Slices of cheese

If using homemade biscuit dough roll out and cut into circles with glass or round cutter. Press a circle flat and place a hot dog on top of the dough. Add a slice of cheese the same length of the hot dog, if desired. (this is the caterpillar).

Fold dough over around the caterpillar and press seam edges together. (this is the Chrysalis) Place on cookie sheet and bake until golden brown.
