Sea Turtle Themed Snacks for Kids

The ocean has been calling my name lately but unfortunately, I’m surrounded by the beautiful Ozark Mountains instead of a white sand beach. But, even when I’m stuck in the middle of the US, I can feed my soul with some beach-inspired fun! These sea turtle themed snacks are the perfect healthy treat to help me work on my bikini body. (HA! This old “mom bod” will never sport a bikini again, rest assured!)

I love basing our learning around a particular topic, which is called a unit study. With this cute little snack, we read books about sea turtles, learned about sea turtle habitats and talked about where sea turtles can be found. It’s satisfying to add some fun to your learning!

These sea turtle themed snacks are the cutest little thing! Plus, they're healthy and a cinch to make!
