Critters on a Log

Practice fine motor skills while making a fun and healthy snack! This Critters on a Log recipe gives your autistic child a hands-on way to practice building, placing, and arranging ingredients while creating a tasty snack they’re sure to enjoy.

Critters on a Log This healthy snack is as fun to play with as it is to eat! It's also a great opportunity for your autistic kiddo to practice fine motor skills like chopping. Utilize your kiddo's favorite fruits to see how many different critters you can create! Ingredients: Celery Apples Grapes Blueberries Cashews Peanut butter or yogurt Candy eyes Instructions: Help wash all of your fruits and vegetables. Chop the celery into roughly 3-inch sticks. Slice your apples into thin circles and in half, removing the seeds from the core. Apply your spread of choice to the celery sticks. Feel free to mix and match if you want to use both yogurt and peanut butter. Create your critter's face by applying a bit of your spread to the back of the candy eyes and attaching them to your cashews and grapes. Assemble your critters and have some fun! Add a cashew head and apple back to create a silly snail. Or pair a grape head with a blueberry body to make a long caterpillar.Download Now!
