By Beth Carlson March 29, 2016
Celebrate spring with these adorable, healthy snacks! They are easy to make and add a bit of “flower power” to a playdate or after school fuel up.

Ingredients & Tools Needed:
  • Carrots
  • Cucumbers
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Toothpicks
  • Ranch dressing for dipping
Steps:
1.  Slice the carrots and cucumbers into circles.
2.  Cut the cucumbers in half.  Then cut out the seeds into a semicircle and set aside.
3.  Cut two small upside down “v” shapes into each carrot, so that it resembles a tulip.
4.  Grab a tooth pick and insert the cucumber.
5.  Place the carrot on top of the toothpick.
6.  Arrange a “bouquet” of vegetable flowers on a plate. Dip in ranch dressing and enjoy!
