Right now my kids are getting treats at school, treats from neighbors, treats from the post office, you name it. So, for their upcoming Holiday class parties, I wanted to bring along something semi-healthy along with the goodies. Now, if you told me last week that I'd be taking pretzels and cheese cubes to my kid's class party, I would have thought you were nuts. Unless...
We use a little imagination and turn them into
Elf Tinker Toys!

This just goes to show that simple things can be crazy fun with a little imagination. Not only is it a great snack, the kids can have some fun playing with their food. The baggie toppers I made are yours free to download! Click here or on the image below to open and print.

What a great idea! One of those "slap your forehead I coulda had a V8, why didn't I think of this" moments. I am making some for the grandkids right now. Thanks.
Since it is 1:06 and I have to take a snack to my son's school party at 4pm I am now headed to the store to re-create :-) Thanks!

GREAT idea. I think I am going to change it around a little and instead of cheese, I will do mini marshmallows. Thank you SO much.
