    Why you need to make easy owl rice cakes

    This simple owl snack for kids could not be cuter. They are the perfect snack if your child is studying owls or just loves the cute critters. If your child is allergic to peanut butter, you can use any other nut butter. These would even be cute if made with nutella.

    How to make rice cakes that look like owls

    As you can see it just takes a few ingredients which you may already have at home to make these easy rice cake snacks.

    These are fun snacks for kids to make. My kids like to help make these since they are so quick and simple. First, cover the rice cakes in peanut butter.

    Next, slice a banana and place 2 slices on the rice cake as eyes.

    Place 3 slices of bananas on the bottom of the rice cake as chest feathers. You will want the middle banana to lay slightly on top of the other two.
