I don’t know about you, but I’ve absolutely adored the And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street Unity Study!
What’s a Unit Study without some really fun snacks? Let’s play with our food in our Mulberry Street Unit Study and be silly today.
To make the Oh The Animals Snack here, you’ll need…
Of course, you can use peanut butter
as the glue instead of cookie butter if you like. Set out graham crackers
, pretzels
, marshmallows
, gum drops
, cereal
, cookies
, and other small food items in a divided tray.
Use peanut butter or another nut butter for “glue”. If you have a nut allergy in the house, you can always use icing (I have an amazing cream cheese frosting recipe in my Snowball Cupcakes post). This divided tray I picked up at Dollar Tree, I bought them in several different shapes and sizes for various sorting and other activities- great for many home school projects.
Now that you’re all set up, you and the kidlets can build animals or vehicles that you may have seen on Mulberry Street. The best part is that you then get to eat them! Don’t forget to snap a picture of you and your little ones creations before they are gobbled up.

This is really cute and a nice treats to make with my niece. We love peanut butter and I never thought about doing this snack for her. Thanks for the recipe.
I love this idea. Makes eating a play idea for my three year old
How fun! This is so clever. I need to do more stuff like this with my son, it’s a great addition to learning.
And who ever said we shouldn’t play with our food? So fun! I love animal crackers 🙂
My boys would get the biggest kick out of that. They love animal crackers!
So simple and so clever! I love snacks that are fun!
I never thought to build things with the snacks and peanut butter. What a creative treat. So glad mister is enjoying all of his peanut butter adventures now!
Virginia – such a cute and creative idea! The animal crackers (elephants) are perfect to use! I love the vehicle made out of graham crackers, peanut butter and mini vanilla Oreos…awesome!
Oh my goodness. That is the cutest little cookie concoction I’ve seen!
I really love your snack idea! My two youngest would love it too!
How cute! My children look for any excuse to play with their food, and I bet they’d have fun with what you have laid out.
This is seriously cute! And it looks so easy too…something I could pack in a bento no problem!
That turned out so cute! I’m impressed by your creativity!
food crafts are fun! I love what you are doing w mulberry street, v!
This is a great idea for pairing snacks with a homeschool unit study. It made me think of building an ark, with all of the animal on board.
That’s such a creative idea! And every kid loves to play with their food so it’s perfect.
Oh my goodness that is cute!! I will have to try this with my kids! You are a fun mommy!
How cute! This proves that it’s more than okay to ‘play’ with your food. 🙂
I love that you made it fun for your kids to learn about their lesson. Kids + food=fun!
What a fun activity! These are so cute! I will make these when we go to the Circus World Museum in June! Fun event to get us in the circus mood!
I love all of this. The boys would really enjoy dipping those animal crackers.
This is such a fun treat for kids. My boy loves playing with his food before devouring it. (And somehow I’ve never given him animal crackers!)
I love that 🙂 that last photo is so adorable. Definitely something I’d do with my son sometime.
Too Cute! I’m loving all the themed snacks you are making and tieing into learning!
What a creative little snack. I love how you are making all these fun themed goodies.
This is such a fun idea! Way to think out of the box when teaching your kiddos.
What a fun way to play with your food! 🙂 My kiddo would love this.
I love this book. We like making things to go along with stories we read.
Those are too cute to eat! I’m going to try these with my kids.
Way too cute. I got to make this for my 2 year old.
And my parents always said never to play with your food – little did they know! These look delicious.
and mom always said never play with your food LOL
would you come over and share this on #kidsinthekitchen this week 🙂
I’m going to have to go look at that cream cheese frosting recipe. I bet it would be great with those graham crackers.
