Animal Snack Mix

What you need:

• 3 cups teddy bear–shaped graham snacks
• 1 cup raisins
• 3 pouches chewy fruit snacks (whatever animal shape you like)
• 1 cup pretzel-flavored goldfish crackers

What to do:

1. Wash everyone's hands thoroughly.
    
2. Measure all the ingredients into a large bowl. Stir them together.
    
3. Ask your child to estimate how many cups of snack mix this will make.
    
4. Measure the snack mix to see how many cups it made. Help your child pour the snack mix into a large airtight plastic container or into individual plastic bags. It will keep at room temperature for about 5 days.
