Here is how to make a colorful Spring snack for kids:
Gather your materials. To make these adorable butterflies, you will need:
- Goldfish® Crackers — We love the Colors variety for this project, but any Goldfish crackers will do!
- Snack sized zipper topped bags
- Clothespin
- Washi Tape
- Fine point marker
- Pipe cleaners
Fill the zipper-topped bag with yummy Goldfish crackers, and leave a bit of space in the middle of the bag. Let out as much air as possible. Seal up the bag. Bend the pipe cleaner into a “V” shape and curl the ends to look like antennae. Add a strip of washi tape to the clothespin, and use a marker to add eyes and a smile! Put It All Together:
Use the clothespin to hold the center of the zipper bag and the pipe cleaner antenna. Enjoy your yummy butterfly snack!

After making these butterfly snacks, my 10 year old was inspired to create a short stop-motion video to make them come to life. Lots of imaginative fun!
