So Many Different Variations

I was thinking, too, about how many different variations on this you could do:

Make Your Own Spider Kit:

Premake the sandwiches and precut them.

Toss in some chocolate chips and pretzel sticks and kids can build their own spiders.

Make A Skeleton:

Use a smaller cookie cutter to cut out a smaller circle from the sandwich.

Toss in some different shapes of pretzels and let your kids make a spooky or silly skeleton.

Make A Zombie:

Assemble as a spider but make the pretzels into hair instead of legs.

Add drizzles of strawberry jelly to the top of the sandwich for “brains”.

Make The Ultimate Spider:

Add peanut butter “joints” to the ends of the legs and “glue” additional pretzel sticks on – jointed spider legs!
