Our butterfly-shaped bags are perfect for packing nutritious classroom bites and exciting treats!
Snack Supplies:
- Large Wood Clothespins – 1 per snack bag
- Black Marker
- Gold Pipe Cleaners – 1 per snack bag
- Small Resealable Plastic Baggies – 1 per snack bag
- Large Bowl For Mixing
- Dry Finger Foods
Directions:
- To complete ONE butterfly treat – you will need ONE small sandwich baggie, ONE wooden clothespin and ONE pipe cleaner per snack bag.
- First start, if you like, start off by decorating your wooden clothespin with some Sharpie markers or craft paint. I personally loved the nude look of my clothespin but you might want to add some color to his body.
- Once done with that, go ahead and draw on some eyes onto the clothespin so your butterfly friend can see.
- Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Repeat for each “butterfly” you want to make per snack.
- Now you are ready to assemble your treats.
- Take all your dry ingredients and mix them together in a large bowl.
- Now take a handful of your dry finger food mixture and place it in a plastic baggie {keep in mind, this is PER SNACK BAG} You don’t want it to be too full.
- Seal it off, making sure to remove as much air as you can from the inside.
- Next, using your finger, separate your mixture in two sections. {left/right – see my image for example}
- Then start scrunching the center of the baggie, so you can “pinch” the clothespin in between. It will look like butterfly wings and/or a bow.
- To finish off the fall snack baggie idea, bend/fold your gold pipe cleaner to make some antennas for your butterfly. Pinch those into the clothespin on the filled baggie as well.
- Then give away to enjoy!
- Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share of your butterfly snacks with us! #gluedtomycrafts
