How to Make Fruit Frogs:
- Cut a wedge out of a large strawberry, pointing towards the stem.
- Stuff a raspberry wrapped in a mint leaf into the open wedge.
- Stick two blueberries on top for eyes using peanut butter or chocolate spread to keep them in place.
How to Make Veggie Ladybugs:
- Top a cucumber slice with two basil leaves and hummus so they stay in place.
- Top with half of a cherry tomato cut almost in half to look like open ladybug wings.
- Place a quarter of a Kalamata olive at the top for its head.
