Butterflies are a sign of new life. Spring always gets me motivated to get outside, enjoy nature, and celebrate it with our food, too! My daughter has been very in to butterflies lately, and she has even requested a rainbow butterfly birthday party! We’ve already made delicious fruit butterfly for a snack, and today’s butterfly will be a lunchtime butterfly treat.
Butterfly Quesadillas
I have two daughters. I made one quesadilla with a 8-inch tortillas, (I love to use the whole wheat or multi-grain tortilla wraps), and cut it into 4 equal portions. Place two quesadilla “wings” on your plate.
Create the body by slicing the end off of some beautiful green grapes and laying them on your plate to look like a body.
Thinly slice a baby carrot into strips to use for antennae, and place two blueberries on top of the carrots to complete the look.
If you feel so inclined, you could even use a food marker to draw a happy face on the top grape for your butterfly.
That’s it! Super easy and so fun for the kids.
If you enjoyed this, check out our other animal snacks, as well as our nature themed snacks. The kids will love them! I know mine did!
By the way, I found another blogger who has another take on the butterfly quesadillas. Check her version out here!

Thanks for hosting such a great party, Amy!
I love simple snacks that also add a little fun to our day! I could definitely make this one. This week’s theme for the Discover and Explore linky is butterflies. I’d love for you to come share this idea if you are interested.
