Directions:

  1. Spread veggie dip on one side of both crackers.
  2. Give your spider legs by placing eight strips of your favorite veggie in the veggie dip on one cracker.
  3. Place the second cracker on top of the first cracker with the spider legs, so that all the veggie dip is inside the spider’s body.
  4. Optional: Use the veggie dip to attach the raisins, sun-dried tomatoes, or strips of your veggie to create your spider’s eyes (all eight!) and mouth.

To Serve:

  • Pack your spider in a zip-top bag so that it does not crawl away!

Fun Fact: Try to spy real spiders on your hike. You don’t want to eat them!
