Story Time Snack: Stanley's Marshmallow Buildings



Every night before Stanley (You know Stanley, don't you? Adorable hat-wearing hamster? Great with colors and machines?) goes to bed, he has supper and a bath.


But what is Stanley the Builder's favorite food? William Bee hasn't personally confirmed, but I'm pretty sure it's...

marshmallow buildings!

Directions:

  1. Decide what you're going to build. Will it be a house, like Stanley built for Myrtle? Or, will you make a spaceship? A skyscraper? Something completely new?
  2. Insert each pretzel stick into a marshmallow.
  3. Go on connecting until your masterpiece is finished!
  4. If you're feeling fancy, use frosting to attach M&M's, gumdrops, or other small candies for decoration!

Yum!
