Butterfly Sandwiches


In my effort to try to find a fun snack that my 4 year old studenst can make that centered around butterflys, I came up with this. You will need: flour tortillas, cinnamon butter spread (I use the Land O Lakes brand), pretzel sticks, butterfly shaped cookie cutter, and knife or spreader.


First, cut 2 shapes out of the tortilla with the cookie cutter, I find it helps if you have the child push down and twist. If you place them strategically, you can get 2 shapes out of one small tortilla.

Spread the cinnamon butter on one of the shapes.

Add the pretzel sticks.

Top with the other shape and done!

I am thinking there are many variations on this. Could do with turkey and/or cheese in the middle, jam, strawberry cream cheese, etc. Send me your ideas on variations!
