Bears in a boat make a really fun snack

Cookie bears in a celery boat

I admit that when I first saw Leeann's (2 Nuts in a Shell) photo of the bears in a boat, I thought that the boat was a sled and that the two groups of bears were in a race to make it to the bottom of the hill/pate. If they were a bit more reclined, it would be a luge competition.

Boat or sled, the concept is adorable and Leeann was able to use it to successfully get her child, Jaden, excited about celery - a challenge right up there with luge.

The same idea would be really cute with any animal from a box of animal crackers or the concept could be taken one step further by using a healthier boat passenger. Any ideas for veggies that look like bears?

Maybe some carrot slices "stuck" together with some extra peanut butter? It would make a bear-like face...

Otherwise, "ants on a log" are a good stand-by -- just use raisins instead of bears. I loved it as a kid for the ick factor and now love it as an adult for the salty/sweet combo.

If you have small cookie cutters, you could make little bears or other animals from apples or cucumbers. I'm not a fan of raisins. My dentist lists then as #1 on the bad food chart for kids, because they stick to teeth and allow other foods to stick to teeth.

Tip of the Day

The turkey turned out perfectly, but the gravy's a different story. Avoid botching the one recipe that guests pour over their entire Thanksgiving plates with these quick fixes.
