M Is for Mice Munchies

These sweet little Mice Munchies just might be too cute to eat.

Preschoolers aren’t always interested in eating healthy snacks, but with their chocolate chip eyes and red licorice tails, these fruit and cheese mice may be difficult for your little one to resist!

But beware! After you’re done creating this fun snack, you might have to abandon the “don’t play with your food” rule. These adorable and edible vermin are just begging to be played with.

And be sure to check out all the snacks in my ABC Snacks Series. Our snack series has more than fifty alphabet-inspired snacks for you to enjoy with your preschooler.
