Children will need help from an adult! Don't forget to drink water while you hike.

Yield: 4 servings or 12 snails

Serving Size: 3 snails

Prep Time: 15 minutes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients:

• 1 cup thinly sliced or shredded carrots
• 2 green onions, cut into thin slices
• 2 whole wheat wraps or tortillas
• 4 Tbsp veggie dip
• 12 cherry tomatoes
  

Equipment:

• Knife
• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or spatula
• Toothpicks
• Zip-top bags
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons 

Directions:

1. Mix carrots and green onions into the veggie dip.
2. Spread on the wraps using a spoon or spatula.
3. Create the snail’s spiral shell by tightly rolling the wrap.
4. Insert three toothpicks evenly across the roll, leaving a portion of the toothpick exposed.
5. Cut each roll into three pieces, so that each piece has a toothpick.
6. Give the snails a head by attaching a cherry tomato to the exposed end of each toothpick.
   

To Serve:

Even though your snail moves slowly, place your snail in a zip-top bag so that it does not get away. Remember to remove the toothpick before eating.
