Can I make a vegan option?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
These pencils can easily be made vegan by using fruit. Pineapple sticks are great for the yellow part of the pencil. You can use apples or pears for the white part of the pencil and watermelon for the eraser. If you use apples or pears, soak them in lemon juice first so they don\u2019t brown. For the pencil tip you can use pieces of black cherries or blackberries. Vegan chocolate chips are also great to use as the pencil tip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want savory pencil snacks you can use vegan cheese. For the erasers, some options are vegan ham, hot dogs or jerky sticks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cheese Pencils Back to School Snack<\/h2>\n\n\n\nItems Needed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Cheddar cheese sticks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mozzarella string cheese<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ham steak<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Black olives, whole<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Appetizer tooth picks or mini bamboo skewers <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cut the cheese sticks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
First, cut the cheddar sticks in half, the short way. Then cut the mozzarella string cheese into 4 pieces, the short way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Cheese](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/curlsnpearlsss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pencil-4.png?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMake mozzarella triangles <\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Cheese](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/curlsnpearlsss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pencil-5.png?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPlace a piece of the mozzarella next to a cheddar stick to get an idea of how much you\u2019ll need to cut when making the triangle shapes. Cut the triangles accordingly. Later when you cut the olives, you\u2019ll need to cut the tip of the mozzarella triangle so the olive piece can fit properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Cheese](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/curlsnpearlsss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pencil-6.png?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMake olive triangles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cut a black olive in half, the short way. Then carve triangles. Place the olive triangles next to the mozzarella triangles and cut the tip of the mozzarella so that the olive triangle can fit properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Black](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/curlsnpearlsss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pencil-7.png?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCut ham erasers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Black](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/curlsnpearlsss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pencil-9.png?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCut the ham steak into strips using the cheddar cheese stick to measure the width. Then cut the strips of ham into small rectangles. I love the Black Bear brand! Boar’s Head also makes a good ham steak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Black](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/curlsnpearlsss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pencil-8.png?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThread onto appetizer picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Carefully thread the ham onto the appetizer stick, followed by cheddar cheese, mozzarella and olive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip: Save the mozzarella cheese scraps. They look like pencil shavings! Serve these pencil snacks with notebook paper as placemats. Your kids will have so much fun pretending to write with the pencils! <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Cheese](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/curlsnpearlsss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pencil-3.png?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1\")
