  2. Drape Fruit Roll-Up over your pretzel structure.
    Build an Edible Tent- Done!

This was a fun project, but a little more difficult than I imagined. We had to use a little bit of team work to hold the pretzels in place while someone else tied them together. I am embarrassed to admit that our edible tent building skills may be equivalent to real life tent building skills… I wouldn’t trust us out in the wilderness on our own (bahahaha)! We had a lot of fun trying though. And the kiddos didn’t mind eating some extra snacks today!

A little extra…
