Crafting with Food: Racecar Snacks from Apple Slices

Fun, healthy, and delicious. What's not to like about making snacks into crafts?

Recently, I’ve been having a lot of fun combining snack time and craft time.  Because, hey, what’s more fun than snacks and crafts, right?!  It’s been fun turning our snacks into kids’ crafts.  I really like the way these apple slice race cars turned out.  I can’t take credit for this idea, though, as that goes to Cristi from Bent on Better Lunches.  I did think I was being pretty clever when I used string cheese for the wheels, although, it really didn’t look as cute as the grapes.

What You Need to Make Race Car Apple Snacks

• Apple
• Grapes and/or String Cheese
• Toothpicks

Fun Racecar Snack Craft Supplies

Stick two toothpicks through each of your apple slices.

Cut your grapes in half to make wheels for your race car.

We also sliced some string cheese to make tires for our race car snack.

Affix your wheels to the toothpicks, and you've got an awesome kids' craft that they can eat!
