Storage & Preparation Notes

Storage Instructions:

Best assembled fresh. Components keep separately: crackers airtight, cream cheese refrigerated.

Helpful Toddler Feeding Tips:

Let toddlers place the legs and eyes themselves; it is a fine-motor activity and a snack. Swap cream cheese for peanut butter for a protein boost.
