Yummy! Crayons!
These are simple to make and are sooo fun to eat. My kids thought it was so funny that they got to eat "crayons" (something we're constantly telling the baby NOT to do!).
In addition, they got to break things, dip things, and use tape. What snack could be more fun to make??!:)
You can put several in a Ziploc baggie with a handmade note saying "You Color my World" for an easy class valentine treat. I'd make a few different colors (red, white, etc) but the girls had too much fun with pink so we just went with it.:) These would also be a great "C" snack for preschool or a great "back to school treat". Have fun!

We made these on Wed at our play group! It was great fun and the kids loved it. I had to use the fat, 3 inch rolled gold pretzels, it was not as great as the pretzel rods you use. I was wondering where you get those nice large pretzel rods! Thanks for the super ideas Mandy!
Yea, how fun! I get the pretzel rods in the chip aisle in the grocery store. They're usually on the bottom shelf in a white box. They also come in clear tubs sometimes. Hope this helps.:)
