Our Favorite Ways to Color Pretzels
These are just some of the things you could create if you have some crayons, colored pencils and some scraps lying around the craft drawer.
Try out one (or all!) of them at home or in your classroom!
1. Give Your Pretzel a Baked Crust
Using your golden crayon to color inside of the shape you created on your paper first, but make sure to use your browns to color all around the edge as well as underneath each individual loop where they overlap each other.
You want to press pretty hard on those areas because you don’t want the colors to bleed too much into one another. You also might notice there are several sections near the top that you can leave more white than anything else; this will help give your pretzel an extra fluffy feel! And don’t forget those little salt chunks! They should remain white throughout.
2. Decorate a Chocolate Twist
Start by choosing the partially dipped pretzel option. Color the uncovered part of the pretzel in tan, then fill in the chocolate coating with either dark brown or a creamy ivory shade.
After you’re done coloring your pretzels, place some small, colorful dots over them to represent candy sprinkles. A nice combination would be pink, yellow, and blue dots on top of a darker-colored coating!
3. Make a Pretzel Snack Shop
Encourage little ones to color the market stall (or snack bowl) before cutting out their design and gluing it into place on some folded cardboard ‘stands.’
You can get really creative with this by using different colors for the mustard (warm yellows look particularly nice) or cheese dip (orange).
Add some handwritten price cards next to each of these items, then encourage your children to choose which ‘order’ they would like to complete—encouraging them to count out the correct number of pretend coins as payment!
