These map scroll cheese sticks are the perfect snack for kids to fuel up on. Keep the wrapper on the cheese stick and use a red sharpie to draw an "X" on the wrapper. Then draw dashed black lines to represent a path or trail. Just like that your themed snack is done, perfect for the classroom, a birthday party or VBS.
Don't miss the boat on this snack, because it's healthy, easy to make and fun to eat! Kids will be so surprised and amused by these apple boats, they won't even realize they're good for them. Cut an apple into wedges, insert a mini pretzel stick into the middle of the apple wedge. Then use peanut butter or mustard as 'glue' to attach the mini cheese slices to create the sail on the apple boat.
This cheese and crackers snack is one of the easiest around – and everyone loves cheese and crackers, so it's a win for everyone. First, tie a length of licorice rope around a cheese stick to create a fishing rod. Then use peanut butter or mustard as 'glue' to attach a goldfish cracker to the end of the licorice.
