This Graham Cracker & Lifesaver Stoplight Snack is more than just a treat; it’s a combination of education, creativity, and fun. With minimal ingredients and setup, you can entertain and teach kids in a way they’ll remember!
What You Need:
Before you begin, gather your ingredients and materials. You can easily find these at any grocery store or even in your pantry.
- 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:
If working with a group of kids, set up a “snack station” where all ingredients are divided and ready to go. This keeps the activity organized!
- 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!!
So my friends, I’ll leave you here. There are so many ways to take this snack creation. I just hope we SPARK the idea within you and your child today!
