Yes! Ryan loves to ask for two different kinds of snacks but doesn't always love mixing them so this is perfect for that! 😀

Love these! Thanks Kimberly Johnson ! I used a variation on this for my summer dance camp last year and turned them into "fairies" for our Fairy Themed Camp. (Instead of a snack in the baggies, we filled with sparkles, tissue paper, etc. and added a magnet on the back for more of a keepsake item).
