Save it?

Need a craft for Presidents’ Day? How about making Abraham Lincoln’s log cabin from pretzel logs, crackers, and peanut-butter? What a fun way to teach children about President Lincoln! From Martha Stewart.

President’s Day Log Cabin:

Rinse a 1/2-pint milk carton, and cover the surface with creamy peanut butter. Fill in the top of the carton with extra peanut butter to straighten the slope of the roof.

For the logs, cut pretzel sticks to desired length with scissors. Use peanut butter to affix them to the sides of the milk carton.

Make the door with a graham cracker, and use peanut butter to give it a pretzel-scrap doorknob. Use pretzel or cereal squares as windows.

Shingle the roof with two layers of thin wheat crackers, line the top roof ridge with a pretzel stick, and add a pretzel nugget as a chimney.
