Ladybug Treats

We were recently invited to a lighting-bug catching party. We were also instructed to bring "buggy" snacks. These ladybugs were so cute and healthy too! Although you are supposed to place them on a skinned honeydew melon (to look like a leaf) I didn't have any honeydew, so I just went with this cantaloupe in my fridge. Cute and yummy too!

Here's the low-down on what you need:
strawberries
miniature chocolate chips
grapes
toothpicks
a melon if you want something for them to "crawl" on

Here's how it's done:
hull strawberries and cut out a shallow v shape on top
press miniature chips pointy-end down into the top of the berry
Cut a grape in have and skewer grape and berry onto a toothpick
impale your melon with toothpicks and stick the bugs onto the picks
