My 4 year old had his end of the year party today at school and we were in charge of the food. We didn’t have a lot of time for planning, but ended up coming up with some super cute ideas! Our theme was made up of Teddy Bear Beach Party Treats & Snacks. These ideas are so easy to make and the kids loved them!
Teddy Bear Beach Cookies
Ingredients:
- Graham Crackers
- White Frosting
- Blue Food Coloring
- Vanilla Wafers
- Edible Marker
- Rips Candies
- Pretzel Sticks
- Betty Crocker Cookie Icing different colors)
- Sprinkles
Directions:
Start out coloring the tops of the vanilla wafers using your edible markers to make your umbrellas like this…
Add a sprinkle on top using your cookie icing. Twist a knife in the bottom of the wafer to make a hole. Add a little bit of the icing in the hole & press in a pretzel stick. Let those set about 5 minutes.
Make a hole in on the top side of your graham cracker using a knife & twisting it until it goes all the way through to the bottom….
Crush up one of the graham crackers to make crumbs. Add some icing in the hole & then press your umbrella in the icing (you will not have to hold it while it dries…ours just stayed put).
Before the icing dries, add the crumbs to cover up the icing like this…
Make sunglasses on your teddy grahams by adding a line of icing over the eyes. Then press on 2 black sprinkles on top using a tooth pick…
Tint the white frosting with your blue food coloring. Spread the blue frosting on one side of the graham cracker. Place the Rips candy on the other side. Place the teddy graham on top. We also cut the bottoms off of other teddy grahams & placed them in the water…
