Preschool Valentine Party Crackers

Total Time 30 minutes or less Ages preschooler

True party crackers have a cracking stick that makes a loud pop when pulled. Some small children are frightened by these crackers, and others find it difficult to pull the cracker apart. Instead, make these crackers, without the pop, that are easily pulled apart making them perfect for the little ones!
