Fire Truck Snack

Each fire truck takes one and a half graham crackers. This craft makes a great snack that kids can make themselves (with some guidance). This craft can be messy!

Supplies:

A paper plate Graham crackers (1 1/2 per fire truck) Tiny Ritz crackers (for wheels) Stick pretzels Black licorice Softened cream cheese (or thick frosting) Red food coloring A red jellybean, a red Dots candy, a cherry, or a strawberry

Have an adult mix a few drops of food coloring to the cream cheese (or frosting). The children will use this edible "glue" to put their fire truck together.

Start with a whole graham cracker. Using the back of a spoon, spread some of the "glue" on one side of it.

Put half a graham cracker on top of the "glue." This is the cab of the fire truck.

"Glue" a red jellybean, a red Dots candy, a cherry, or a strawberry on top of the cab. This is the fire truck's red light. "Glue" four of the tiny Ritz crackers to the sides - these are the wheels.

On the back of the truck, "glue" two pretzels parallel to each other. Then "glue" in broken pieces to make a tiny ladder.

"Glue" on a piece of licorice - this is the firehose. You now have a tiny fire truck that is great for snack time!
