it's pretzels.

I'd like to say this idea is all mine but really...I got it from Martha.  If you haven't signed up for her craft of the day and you're into crafting...it'll get your craft juices going.

This is a fun project especially if you're in the middle of teaching your kids about the civil war, Abraham Lincoln, etc.  Plus, there's lots of peanut butter and pretzels involved.  As you can see...there was a lot of finger licking and crunching going on.  Some of it made it onto the houses.

Supplies:

A milk carton from school

peanut butter

pretzel rods, squares, and those little sourdough fat rectangles (completely forgot what they're called)

wheat thins

a graham cracker

Spoons for spreading

It's super easy.  Spread the milk carton with peanut butter and build your house with the pretzels.  You can use the squares for a window or a front door mat or a sky light.  Build your dream house...or a house you want to eat.  Either way.  Fun times.

yummy. LIFE.
