A tasty, colorful, and nutritious ocean treat

🍅 Ingredients:

• Cherry tomatoes (the “boats”)
• Pretzel sticks (the “masts”)
• Cheese cubes or string cheese (the “sails”)
• Whole grain crackers (the “dock”)
• A little hummus or cream cheese (to stick parts together)

🥄 Directions:

1. Make the Boat:
   Take a cherry tomato and carefully slice off a tiny bit of the bottom so it stands flat.
2. Add the Mast:
   Stick a cucumber slice or celery stick upright into the tomato (you can help a grown-up with this!).
3. Attach the Sail:
   Cut a small triangle from a cheese cube or string cheese and carefully press it onto the mast.
4. Create Your Ocean:
   Arrange crackers or pretzels around your boats like little waves or a dock.
5. Snack and Sail Away!
   Enjoy your healthy, ocean-inspired snack!
