Butterfly Snack Bags


Today we had a lot of fun with our snacks.  When I saw this idea on Pinterest I just knew we would do this.  Check out our butterfly snack bags made using things we had around the house:  clothespins, markers, eye stickers, pipe cleaners, snack size ziplocs, and grapes and gold fish!

 First the kids markered their clothespins.  

Paint would have been a lot of fun too but I chose to keep it pretty simple.  Next, they picked out their eyes from a huge sticker sheet that I picked up at a yard sale.  I think I have over 500 eyes and I payed a nickel!  Then they chose their pipe cleaners and we made antennae.  I assembled the snack bags, we clipped on their butterflies and voila!

 And of course, it was almost as fun eating them as it was making them!

A bit excited.
