How to Create Baby Animals with Snack Packs

Oh yes, it may look like fun and games in some of these pictures, but the planning stage is pretty intense. What animal should you make? What color craft foam should you use? There’s no right or wrong way to create these crafts. Just use your imagination and have some fun!

First, do all the things that require glue, tape, pipe cleaners and pom poms. You don’t want to end up having sticky pom poms fall into your pudding.

Materials Needed

• Pudding Cups
• Googly Eyes
• Foam Sheets
• Pipe Cleaners
• Glue (Hot glue gun optional)
• plastic spoons or forks

Directions

• Decide what animal you want to create. Do you want to use the foam to make the animal flat? or would you rather use the pom poms to give it body?
• Pencil your shape on the foam and cut carefully with scissors.
• Glue on googly eyes, ears, pipe cleaner antennas or other assorted pieces.
• Wrap your pudding cup to color in the body if necessary.
• When your animal is ready, tape or glue it to a plastic spoon or fork

Use a foam craft stick to wrap around the Snack Pack Pudding cup. Once you measure the width, just staple it together so it will slide on over the cup.

How to Create the Baby Animals with Puff Balls

• Use 2 large poof balls for the body.
• Use Foam sheets to cut out beaks, ears or feet.
• Attach Googly Eyes

Time to Add the Tasty Decorations

Once the crafty part of the creation is done, it’s time to move to Step 2! This is the tasty part of the competition! Pull out all the ingredients and set them out on the table.

Then the real fun begins! If you have ever seen one of those cooking competitions where the contestants get a set amount of time and are turned loose to create whatever they can imagine then you get an idea of how the next 15 minutes will go.
