#! 🕷️🥕
Ingredients:
- 1 large bell pepper (choose orange for Halloween vibes or green for a spooky touch)
- 1 small cucumber (to make the spider's legs and wobbly parts)
- 1 small carrot (purely for color and crunch!)
- 1/2 cup of your favorite dip (hummus, ranch, or guacamole)
- 2 olive slices (for those fabulous eyes)
- A sprinkle of love and fun (to spice up your creation!)
Instructions:
Find Your Spider Shape! Grab that bell pepper and give it a gentle wash. Slice off the bottom so it can stand tall and proud – this will be your spider’s body!
Give It Some Legs! Use your cucumber to cut out 8 skinny slices. These will be the spider’s long, creepy legs! 🕷️ Wiggle and giggle as you attach them to the sides of the pepper body.
Carrot Crunch! Take your carrot and slice it into rounds to make the spider’s little feet. Set these on the plate, ready for your spider to scurry over them!
Eye See You! Use your sharp knife (with an adult's help!) to create two tiny slits in the bell pepper’s head and gently press an olive slice into each opening. Voilà, your spider now has eyes!
Dip It to Win It! Place your pepper spider on top of a bowl filled with your favorite dip, creating a perfect cozy spot for your spider. Make sure the dip is thick enough to support the spider – we might find it a-luring to have it hug the bowl!
Veggie Party Time! Arrange leftover cucumber slices, baby carrots, and cherry tomatoes around the spider. You can even have a Buggy Challenge – can you make the most colorful set of veggies around your spider? 🌈
Fun Bug Fact:
Did you know that some spiders can make silk that’s stronger than steel? If your spider could only weave a web for playtime, it would be the prettiest playground!
Safety Tip:
Using a sharp knife to cut your veggies? Make sure an adult is nearby to help! Safety first, little chefs!
Final Touch:
Don’t forget to set the scene! Maybe place a few toy spiders around your veggie tray for extra spookiness! 😮 Can you create a whole spider family out of other fruits and veggies? The challenge awaits!
Complexity Level:
Easy – Kids can make it with adult supervision for cutting!
