Butterfly Snack Bags

How cute would it be for your child to find these in their lunch bag or on their after school snack plate?!? They also make a fun take home craft for any children's activity where a craft is needed.  They are so simple to make!

Supplies:

  • Clothespins
  • Snack size zip lock bags 
  • Googly eyes
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Glue
  • Paint, glitter glue, puffy paint, marker

Snacks: 

  • Goldfish crackers 
  • Dried fruit
  • Cereal
  • Grapes
  • Trail mix
  • Blueberries
  • Any other snack you may wish to use

Directions:

For each bag, decorate one side of a clothespin with paint, puffy paint, glitter glue or marker. Glue two small googly eyes near the gripping end of the clothespin. Let the glue dry.

Put the snack into a snack-size zip lock bag until it's a little over half full. The Butterfly Snack Bags pictured above are filled with half the bag with goldfish and the other half of the bag with grapes. Seal the bag, cinch the middle with your fingers, and clip it with the clothespin.

Next, fold down or 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.

Wallah! Tasty fun treat, easy fun craft!
