Ingredients
Directions
Decide what kind of butterfly snacks you’d like to make. Butterfly snacks can be made out of fruit or vegetables! To make two fruity butterfly snacks, begin by cutting a banana in half.
Using the rounded ends as the top, add two raisins for eyes on each.
Stick a mini pretzel into each side of the banana for the wings and two slices of your favorite fruit on the top for antennas. Enjoy your fruity butterfly snack!
To make two veggie butterfly snacks, begin by cutting a celery stalk in two pieces.
Add your choice of filling (cream cheese, peanut butter, or nut-free butter).
Add blueberries or raisins on top of the filling.
Next, add a mini pretzel to each side of the celery to create wings.
Finally, add two small pretzel pieces at the top for antennas. Enjoy your butterfly veggie snack!
