B is for butterfly snack

Better late than never!!!

I am finally getting around to posting the very simple butterfly snack we made. I ended up eating it because my son won't usually touch anything new. It was yummy!!

B is for butterfly...

I used peanut butter but if allergies are an issue, cream cheese or flavored cream cheese work well too. You could also use icing.
You need:
celery
peanut butter
pretzels


I used broken pieces of pretzels for the antenna but I am sure you could use pieces of string twizzlers (pull and peel) or something else.

This picture turned out terrible... but it shows the idea, anyways! Bon appetite!

Grow your own!!


I realize that we are deep into summer and it is probably too late to do this now, but as I have had butterflies on my mind, I keep thinking back to the ones that we hatched! We had the kit that you can order off of Amazon and other sites. It comes with the cage and the larve. It is amazing to watch the caterpillars get big and fat and then spin their chrysalis when they are ready. My son loved to check in on them daily. Out of 10, we were able to successfully release 6. Not too bad! I encourage anyone who can do order the kit. It is WELL WORTH the money!
