D Is for Dynamic Dads

Dad’s special day is almost here, and in honor of dynamic dads everywhere, we’ve got an extra special snack to share with you!

All our ABC Snacks recipes are fun to create and tasty to eat, but this one takes the cake! The fun part is that this isn’t just a snack to make for dad…we want you to make it look like dad!

Your kids can get their creative juices flowing, because unlike the rest of our snacks, this one doesn’t have a recipe to follow. The ingredients are up to you.

You’ll need fruit, veggies, bread, tortillas, noodles, tortillas, pita bread, cheese, popcorn…anything you think will help you make a face that looks like your dad. Need a little inspiration? We made a few faces to help stimulate that creativity.

(By the way, the faces we created may or may not bear a resemblance to some of the dads here at AALP!)
