Especially fun for preschoolers, strawberry mice are fun to make and fun to eat. The cute red mice make a nice addition to a kid-friendly buffet especially.
Gather Ingredients for Cooking Games
To assemble the mice you’ll need:
Fresh strawberries
Mini chocolate chips
Black icing
Almond slivers
Toothpicks
Red lace licorice
Cheese wedge
Making Strawberry Mice
Wash your strawberries and the cut away a small section from the bottom of each so that the strawberries sit flat on a platter. Cut away any green on the strawberries as well leaving the back intact if possible.
Place a mini chocolate chip in as the mouse’s nose and use the icing to make tiny eyes for your mouse. The icing can help hold the chocolate chip in place as well as necessary. Use almond slivers as ears by sticking them up on the top of what will become the mouse’s head.
Finally, insert a toothpick into the mouse’s backend. On the end of the toothpick that is sticking out, push on a piece of red licorice as a tail. Make it long enough to be interesting, but not so long it’s unreasonable to handle. Arrange the mice in groups of three or four around small wedges of cheese.
