My four-year-old recently had a play date at our house. He was so excited about having all of his friends over to play. I wanted to have some fun snacks for the kids. So, I decided to make these caterpillars. My group was all boys, but you could make these into ladybugs or butterflies very easily.

instructions to make caterpillars on a stick

Step 1

First, I put about 6 grapes onto the skewer to make the caterpillar body.

My four-year-old helped with this and LOVED it.

Step 2

Then, because my group was still young, I cut the skewers down and removed the pointed edge.

Step 3

Next, I took the icing pack out of the fridge and made two eyes, and topped them off with two mini-chocolate chips.

Serve immediately.

The kids loved these and I loved them because they were so simple to make and a great healthy snack.
