I am really enjoying the summer with the kids! While we are still studying around here our schedule is much less rigorous with lots of extra fun added whenever possible even when it comes to snack food!
Bagel Bites and Delimex Taquitos are staples around here. I love to have them on hand for a quick #AfterSchoolSnacks or hey, we even take Taquitos to our weekly church potluck on a regular basis. They are always a hit! I found Bagel Bites and Delimex in the freezer section at Walmart.
Daddy has been doing great at his new job, but every once in a while work keeps him much later than we like. For those late supper days, I try to have a hearty snack time to hold the kids over. Since it is summer, and we are all about FUN, my daughter decided to make fruit animals to go with our snack time.
We love to have fun with our food and Faith is extra creative. She looked online for animal ideas, and then decided to try them herself.
We assembled some things we thought would help her craft her animals. She used mini chocolate chips for eyes and vanilla frosting and Nutella for “glue”. The almond slices worked as ears, and we cut up sour tape candy for tails.
And this is what she came up with. A snake, catterpillars, and mice–aren’t they cute?
It took Faith about a half hour to craft the animals.
While Faith was making her fruit animals, I popped the Bagel Bites and Delimex Taquitos in the oven. Bagel Bites are made with real cheese and homemade sauce with 0g trans fat. I think we have tried every variety of Delimex Taquitos and we like them all. The Chicken and the Three Cheese tend to be the ones we purchase most.
And then it was time to dig in! The kids were all so excited. Their favorite snacks helped tide them over and pass the time until Daddy made it home!

Are you ready for the kids to head back to school? What are some of your favorite snacks to keep on hand?
What is the white part of the snake? I figure the red part is strawberries, but the white? All I can think of is jicama. Was that it? If so, how did she cut it?
The snakes are made from strawberries and bananas. Fun to make. Fun to eat! 🙂
I like your cute fruit creatures. We made creatures out of vegetables one year, and the kids ate more vegetables because of it!
I can see they are bananas now that you told me. They looked too white to me, but of course the inside of a banana is white. Maybe my next comment will be more intelligent.
Your fruit animals are simply adorable!! This is the perfect fun project to do with my grandchildren. Thanks for sharing this 🙂
