RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
	Cheese sticks
	1/2-inch-thick slices of bologna
	Mustard
	Bugles corn snacks
	Raisins

1. For each pencil, cut off one end of a cheese stick so that it's flat. Use a paring knife or apple corer to cut a 3/4-inch circle out of the bologna.
2. Dab one end of the circle into the mustard, then attach it to the flat end of the cheese stick.
3. Snap off the end of a Bugle so that its edges are even, and gently press it onto the other end of the cheese stick. Slide half a raisin onto the Bugle for the pencil tip, and you've got a snack that's just write!

CRAFT MATERIALS:
	SANDWICH BOX:
	1-gallon milk jug
	Marker
	Scissors
	Thumbtack
	Adhesive-backed Velcro dot
	SNACK BOX:
	Juice or milk carton, in any size from a half-pint to a quart
	Scissors
	Adhesive-backed Velcro dot
Time needed: 30 Minutes or Less

1. SANDWICH BOX: Mark a clean 1-gallon milk jug as shown.
2. Cut along the lines with scissors. To make the crease lines, use a thumbtack to pierce a row of dots at 1/4-inch intervals across each side of the jug, 1 3/4 inches up from the bottom.
3. Fold the flaps at these dotted lines, then open them and fold them in the opposite direction along the lines (this will make the flaps easier for your kids to open and close). Fold up the box and add an adhesive-backed Velcro dot closure.
4. SNACK BOX: Use a clean juice or milk carton. Cut off the top, then cut the sides into flaps as shown. Carefully crease the flaps, then fold them down and add an adhesive-backed Velcro dot closure.
