Not only do kids love decorating these cute little graham crackers with nut butter and candy decorations; but this snack teaches even the littlest learners about traffic safety!
Stoplight Snack Idea For Story Time
Do you have a child who loves anything “transportation” related, as much as my son? We pretty much talk cars and trucks ALL day long here.
The living room is constantly a “race track” and everything we buy, eat or watch is pretty much car related. Life of a boy mom, right?!
So… like I mentioned above, this crafty snack idea is completely inspired by him and his current “love.” You could even pair this idea with a story time or movie theme if you like!
This Graham Cracker Stoplight idea is just something I decided to create to make craft time in the kitchen, a little bit more fun. Since the steps are easy and we don’t need elaborate tools or special ingredients, the stress is non-extinct AND we are making some great memories along the way! I highly encourage YOU to get the kids involved in the making!

Looking for a fun snack to make with your kids? Try this easy and colorful Graham Cracker Stoplight! Perfect for snacking and getting creative in the kitchen.
What You Need:
- To recreate this stoplight idea, you will need graham crackers, chocolate spread and gummy lifesavers. That’s it! Inexpensive, simple ingredients, that you probably already have in your home RIGHT NOW.
- Of course – you can easily switch out things to fit your lifestyle.
- Skip the graham crackers for toast instead. Skip the chocolate spread and go for peanut butter for a lighter version.
- You can also use fruit in place of the lifesaver candy {think a strawberry for red, a banana for yellow and a green grape for green} Maybe even make it a challenge for kids to think of “what can be used for the lights?”

The Simple Steps:
- I bet you are ready for the steps, right?! Let me break it down for you. It’s literally like TWO steps. I’m not kidding – super easy!
- For the stoplight snack, take ONE graham cracker and lay it on a flat surface. Be careful not to break the cracker and spread 1 tbsp {less or more} of your desired spread, all over.
- Now for the “lights.” Lay your candies, in the correct formation, onto the cracker {one candy per light.}
- And that’s it! Then eat it and repeat again. I told you – we like how simple it is! ANYONE can recreate!!
