Summer is the time for vacations and road trips, and this snack will take your preschooler on his very own tasty trip!
Created from healthy ingredients like bread, cheese, apples, and cucumbers, this hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meal may be more than a snack.
Throw in a glass of milk and a cookie, and you’ve got yourself a satisfying lunch!
When you’re done creating your roarin’ racer, your little one won’t be able to resist taking it for a drive! The roarin’ road racer might be just as much fun to play with as it is good to eat!
And since the roarin’ road racer is made from ingredients that most moms have on hand, you can take this speedy ABC Snack for a drive today!
Roarin’ Road Racer
Here’s what you’ll need to make this snack for one child:
- 1 slice of bread
- 2 tablespoons hummus or cream cheese
- 2-3 slices of white sliced cheese
- 1 green apple
- Cucumber slices
Directions:
- Cut two cheese slices into narrow strips.
- On a dinner plate, create a curvy road with long strips of cheese.
- Create a center line with short strips of cheese.
- Cut off the upper corners of a piece of bread to form the shape of a car.
- Spread hummus or cream cheese on bread.
- Create the car’s features (window, door, headlights, taillights) from pieces of cheese.
- Add wheels using two cucumber slices.
- Create three bushes from slices of green apple. Position them along the road.
Teaching Tips
- As you’re building your road racer, practice saying /r/–/r/–roaring road racer together.
- Before you build your road, make the letter R with pieces of cheese.
- Have fun reading the touchy-feely book That’s Not My Car together.
