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!
