Need ant crafts, food ideas

[JenniferH]

I am helping out in school next week and they are doing a unit on ants. One of the students is allergic to peanuts, so "ants on a log" are out of the question. The teacher has asked me to help her come up with ideas that don't include peanuts or peanut products.

I've been able to find a few crafts, but not much in the way of food that looks like ants.

Any ideas or places I can look?

Thanks!

Did you check Family Fun.com? They always seem to have an answer for everything like this.

I've seen "ants on a log done" with cream cheese instead of pb if you wanted an alternative. Here are 2 more links that look cute too:

We do ants on a log with pumpkin seed butter (I hate soy nut butter). Most kids don't even notice the difference.
