How To Make Butterfly Snack Bags

You will need the following materials to make these DIY snack bags for school:

Honey Maid Teddy Grahams
Fresh blueberries
Fresh grapes
Plastic zipper bag

Instructions for DIY snack bags for kids

Ok, so let’s get started on these butterfly-shaped snacks! Fill up your plastic zipper bag with the Honey Maid Teddy Grahams, blueberries, and grapes (feel free to use any other favorite foods and snacks, like goldfish, dried cranberries, popcorn, cut string cheese pieces, etc).

Zip up the bag, leaving a bit of space inside of the bag to be able to manipulate it. Remove a few pieces if it’s too full, and make sure to let any extra air out of the bag.

Add a pipe cleaner to make the butterfly body and antennas

With the zipper side facing up, split the contents of the bag in half, creating space down the center of the bag. To form the body and antennas, fold the pipe cleaner firmly and evenly down the middle of the bag, and twist it a couple of times at the top to secure it.

Pull out each side of the bag to make the wings stand out and distribute the snacks accordingly. Your kids are going to love this at snack time!

To curl the butterfly’s antennae, roll the ends of each of the pipe cleaners around the tip of your finger. Stretch the pipe cleaner to arrange the antennas the way you want them to look. That’s it!
