Spider Crackers with Sweet Potato Hummus, Part 2

Make these arachnids after reading The Very Busy Spider, by Eric Carle. To see all of our The Very Busy Spider activities, click here. 

 

Now that you've made your crackers and hummus, it's time to assemble the spiders.

Young Readers in the Kitchen

Kids can spread hummus on the crackers, then assemble the legs and eyes on the plate.  

 

For each spider you need:

• 2 large (2.5") and two small (2") crackers 
• Sweet potato hummus
• 2 baby carrots
• 2 dried cranberries

1. Spread 1 of the large and 1 of the small crackers thickly with the hummus.
   
   
   
   
2. Top the hummus-filled crackers with the plain crackers.
   
   
   
   
3. Quarter each carrot lengthwise.
   
   
   
   
4. Arrange the crackers on a plate, and add four pieces of carrot on each side for legs. 
5. Add cranberries for eyes. 
   
   
   
   
6. Enjoy!
