It's my daughter's turn to bring snack for school on Monday and because Monday is Leap Day we just HAD to do something extra special! This is what we came up with:
Oatmeal Creme Pie Frog Treats! They are so cute and so easy to make that I am SURE you want to make some yourself! Here's how we did it:
Supplies:
A 2" x 3" piece of green cardstock, folded in half
Two 1 3/4" green cardstock circles
Two 1" white cardstock circles
Two 3/4" black cardstock circles
Two 1" x 4" strips of green cardstock, accordion folded
Two 2" green cardstock ovals
1 Oatmeal Creme Pie (I used Little Debbie brand)
hot glue gun and glue sticks (not pictured)
*note* I used various sizes of paper punches to cut the circles and ovals
First, glue the 2" x 3" piece of cardstock to the oatmeal creme pie.
*Hint* I glued it along the seam on the wrapper to help ensure the hot glue didn't melt through the plastic.
Next, glue the black, white and green circles together to form eyes and then attach them to the front of the green cardstock.
Finally, glue an oval to the bottom of each accordion folded strip and then attach the top of the strips to the bottom of the pie.
*Hint* I put the glue on the cardstock first and let it cool for just a second before attaching it to the wrapper.
And that's it! An adorable frog treat!
Don't you just want to eat it up!?!
We made them in several different shades of green.
I also added a little tag that says:
Hip Hop Hooray!
Happy Leap Day!
My daughter is so excited to take these to school on Monday! How about you? Do you have any fun Leap Day treats or activities planned?
