Build a robin out of toast, peanut butter, fruit, and pretzels. The jam belly gives it the red breast that robins are famous for, and a gummy worm in the beak completes the picture. It’s a snack that looks like it hopped right off the lawn.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1
Difficulty Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 slice of toast
- Peanut butter
- 4 pretzel sticks
- 1 blueberry
- 1 banana slice
- 1 small piece of cantaloupe or orange (for the beak)
- Strawberry or raspberry jam
- 1 gummy worm
Allergy notes: Contains wheat, peanuts. Not safe for peanut allergy.
Substitutions:
- Peanut allergy? Use sunflower seed butter.
- No cantaloupe? Use a small carrot triangle for the beak.
Steps
- Cut the body. Cut a large triangle from the toast for the body. Cut a smaller triangle from the remaining toast for the wing.
- Spread peanut butter. Cover both triangles with peanut butter. Layer the small triangle on top of the large one at an angle to look like a folded wing.
- Add the face. Place a cantaloupe triangle for the beak. Set a banana slice and blueberry together for the eye.
- Make the legs. Add two pretzel sticks as legs. Break two more pretzel sticks in half and arrange them as feet.
- Paint the belly. Spread jam on the robin’s chest area to create its famous red breast.
- Add the worm. Place a gummy worm in or near the beak.
