Use the other three for the buttons on the snowman.

Slice a sliver of the carrot off and poke it into the top banana slice under the eyes to serve as the nose.

Break the pretzel stick in half and these will serve as the arms. Poke them into the middle banana slice.

Place one of the strawberry quarter slices above the top banana slice to serve as the hat.

Winter Snack

Kids will love assembling and eating these adorable snowmen.

This is also a very good classroom recipe that encourages following directions if you decide to have the class assemble their own snack as you share the instructions aloud.

Enjoy!
