Instructions

  • Open the 1 ziploc bag and lay it flat.
  • Put 1/4 cup fresh fruit into one side of the open bag and 1/4 cup mini sandwich crackers into the other side; push the fruit and crackers to opposite halves so they stay separated.
  • Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag completely.
  • Place the 1 cheese stick on the front of the sealed bag centered over where the two food halves meet.
  • Wrap the 1 pipe cleaner once around the middle of the sealed bag and around the cheese stick, then twist the pipe cleaner ends together to secure the cheese stick and form a divider between the two compartments.
  • Bend the twisted pipe cleaner ends upward to make antennae and tuck or bend any sharp ends inward so they do not poke.
  • Check that the bag is sealed, the compartments are separated, and the cheese stick is held securely; tighten or reposition the pipe cleaner if needed.

Notes

You can use any fruit your child likes in for the fruit in these snack bags.
Cheese or Peanut Butter Snack Crackers are great options for a Butterfly Bag suitable for lunch.
Pretzels, trail mix, or cheese crackers are great options for a Butterfly Snack Bag.
These Butterfly Bags will keep for 3-5 days in the fridge, depending on the fruit you choose to use.
