Butterfly Snacks




Butterfly Snacks (for your children or grandchildren)

Supplies:
-Clothspins
-Snack size ziplock bags
-Googly eyes
-Pipe cleaners
-Glue
-Paint, glitter glue, puffy paint (I only had the kids use paint, but any of these other options would be fun too)
-Snacks (goldfish crackers, dried fruit, cereal, grapes, trail mix, blueberries, etc.)

Directions:
For each bag, decorate one side of a clothespin with either paint, puffy paint or glitter glue. Glue two small googly eyes near the gripping end of the clothespin and let the glue dry.

Put your snack into a snack-size ziplock bag until it's a little over half full. I liked to fill the bag half with goldfish and half with grapes. Seal the bag, cinch the middle with your fingers, and clip it with the clothespin.

Next, fold down/curl the tips of a 6-inch length of pipe cleaner, then bend the entire piece in half. Clip the pipe cleaner in the clothespin.
