There are SO many ways you can celebrate World Book Day. One of our favourite nods to the occasion is to bake up a storm (or a bit of a mess in my case). It’s always so much fun as anything goes, and you can let your imaginations run completely wild!
Sometimes the best ideas are the most simplest. Here are a few lovely World Book Day recipe ideas to get you started.
What you will need (per snack):
1 Babybel cheese portion
3 small blueberries
A couple of slices of cucumber
1 cracker or rice cake
Step one
Very carefully, cut away a ‘V’ shape of the Babybel wax with a sharp knife, and peel off. The ‘V’ will form the wings of your ladybird.
Step two
Next, cut away a semi-circle of the Babybel wax at the opposite end to your ‘V’ and peel off. The semi circle will form the head of your ladybird.
Step three
Place the cracker or rice cake onto a plate. Next, pop your ladybird shape on top of this.
Step four
Cut 2 blueberries in half and place onto your ladybird for spots.
Step five
Cut 2 tiny pieces off the remaining blueberry for eyes, and pop them on your ladybird head to finish it’s face.
Step six
Decorate the cracker or rice cake with cucumber (for grass).
Tah-dah!! It’s so easy!
Top tip: pre cut a few ladybirds (Babybels and the decoration) and let your little one get creating.

Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow, If my brother ever lets me cook, I might need to try these as am sure would raise a smile or two even with my teens. #MischiefandMemories
That ladybird is SO cute!!
These look fab. The babybel ladybird is ingenious. I can remember making Gruffalo Crumble with Rory when he was little after collecting lots of blackberries. #MischiefAndMayhem
These are all absolutely brilliant. I think we’ll definitely try making some World Book Day treats next year!
