Thumbs Up Snacks


I saw this idea in a magazine while at the hair salon and
apparently, according to Lacey and Teddy,
they are the best apples in the world! 
I thought they'd be fun to add to a fruit platter 
but they make a great snack anytime.


Another favorite
I was surprised to learn they could be so eager to help with

  
They counted their slices and watched  as I rolled and cut . . .
then took their turns placing the cheese


and the ham


We did this four times.



Follow the pattern . . . kids love patterns.
Fold one corner, leave one corner . . .  and stick in a toothpick.
Bags of pinwheels got distributed between two families 
by one baker who took special ownership . . . with a big smile.


And just so I don't miss saying it,


 it's so good to have our Prairie buds back in BC!

Such a cute post. I love how the two cooks are so involved positioning their pieces of ham and cheese.
Also a cute little bundle in the last photo.

What a fun trick for cutting the core out of apples. Love it! Your little bakers are just precious! Glad you have them back in BC too.

Fun and delicious treats. So glad you can enjoy these moments with your beautiful grands and yes, what a blessing to have them close by as well!!! You inspire me to be the best Grammie I can be! Can't wait to follow your examples with my own sweet granddaughter.
