Happy Friday!! Oh, how I love Fridays – especially right before a long weekend! {It’s B.C. Day on Monday} Anyone have any great weekend plans?
The kids and I enjoyed our morning outside in the sunshine. After some hard playing at the playground the kids were ready for a good snack. We have been attempting to eat a little healthier these days so I have been trying to come up with some fun, healthy snacks for the kiddos. Here’s what we made today {idea from Disney Family Fun}:
These apple frogs are really quick and easy to make and the boys loved them!
Just cut your apple up into quarters and remove the core. Cut three grapes in half and slice two triangle toes in 4 of the halves. You can use a little cream cheese to stick the arms to the frog and then add his hands and feet. For the eyes, take a couple of small marshmallows {or you could do a blob of cream cheese} and add a chocolate chip to the middle. I stuck my marshmallows on with a little bit of cream cheese too.

The cream cheese was starting to melt a little so the kids ended up taking their frogs in to watch George Shrinks. Now for some Mommy time in the yard with my new magazine!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Adorable! I’d love for you to link this to my first ever linky party. http://trophyw.blogspot.com/2011/08/linky-party-1.html -Tara
Love it! I’m going to make these soon.
This is so cute. But did it make your kids eat them faster, or just learn to play with their food?
That is awesome!! I’m on the hunt for a frog themed book now to go along with this fun snack! Thanks for sharing this. I’m coming over from Smilemonsters.
How adorable! My little guy would just love that little frog snack 🙂 I’d love for you to come by and show off your recipe at These Chicks Cooked Recipe Spotlight today. Have a blessed day 🙂

Cute idea! We made a sandwich that looked like a crab this week. It was a hit, and I think this would be too!
That is adorable. We made apple crabs for our Montessori summer camp using apples, pretzels, and marshmallows. Same type of thing! 🙂 I pinned you! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Our Wed. night kids’ program at church is called FROG (friends rely on God). You better believe I will be making these for the kids!
SO cute. any kid would loooove these.
LOL, love these!
I’m so glad to see that you linked up this week! Thank you so much for sharing this at Recipe Sharing Monday. I hope to see you back next week!
So fun!
SO SO SO SO cute!
Love it, thanks for sharing
Saw these guys on pinterest… brilliant! My 12 year old will even love it!
Simply Splendid thanks….
You can make them a teensy bit healthier by using raisins for the eyes stuck in a blob of cream cheese (not that 2 marshmallows and mini chocolate chips are going to ruin any child). Also we have an apple tree, but are apples are a reddish green mix, but I’m a big advocate of using what you have, so we called our tree frogs since their weren’t pure green.
That’s a fun way to do it!
