Apple Frogs

Happy Friday!! I love Fridays - especially right before a long weekend! {It is 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 {from Disney Family Fun}:


Apple and grape frogs!  

Just cut your apple up into quarters and remove the core.  Cut three grapes in half and slice two triangle toess 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!

Have a fabulous weekend!

This is so cute. But did it make your kids eat them faster, or just learn to play with their food?

Cute idea! We made a sandwich that looked like a crab this week. It was a hit, and I think this would be too!

Kathleen said...

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.
