If You Give a Caterpillar & a Cookie to a Very Hungry Kiddo…

If you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll probably ask for a glass of milk! My five year old is super obsessed with books and learning to read, so I wanted to make some cute little snacks to go along with a couple of his favorite titles. These are super simple and super cute! They’re also great for after school snacks or even incorporating into a homeschool lesson for your littles!

I kept these snacks really simple because…1- I’ve been really busy these days and 2- If you keep it simple, the kiddos can definitely help you!

I absolutely used store bought cookie dough, but if you have time, you can use your favorite recipe! I like the mini cookies too. They are the perfect size for tiny hands! So, if you give a cookie to a kiddo, they are definitely going to want a glass of milk while they read one of their favorite stories!

Now, for the fruit caterpillars, I decided to use our favorite fruits and make kebobs. Kids love food on a stick! Plus, once you take the fruit off, you have little holes in the fruit JUST like the caterpillar leaves as he eats through his food. Even my oldest, who is way too cool for Eric Carle, loved the fruit kebobs after school. So cute, right?

There are tons of books you can make snacks for and turn into fun lessons for your kids. I hope your kiddos love these snacks as books as much as we do!
