Let dry & trace with white crayon to make a handprint x-ray!
- Edible X-ray Bones … We actually made these bone breadsticks for Halloween, but they would be a fun snack to do along with X-rays too.
- Use any breadstick recipe you have. I included my favorite below
- Roll out and use a pizza cutter to cut into strips.
- Slice 2-3” up each end and roll to form the end of the bone.
- My orthopedic husband let me know that there is actually no bone in the body that looks like this … oh well, they tasted great!
- I like to brush with a little melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese (before I cut them into strips.)
- They would also be good brushed with a little melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar!
