Fresh sugar snap peas have their own crisp handles. Stir a simple herby yogurt dip, remove any tough strings from the peas by hand, and pack the crackers separately. This snack box is about matching a crisp dipper to a thick dip.

Before you begin · grown-up check

An adult checks the setup, ingredient labels and task suitability, then stays nearby while the young cook prepares the recipe without heat.

  • Together wash hands with soap and water and clean the work surface.
  • Adult checks ingredient labels, equipment and task suitability; ages are starting guides, not a guarantee of readiness.
  • An adult stays nearby throughout.

Ages are a starting guide. A grown-up checks your readiness and stays nearby. Follow the actor label on every step.

The skill you’re learning

A dip should cling to its dipper rather than run off. Thick yogurt gives these herbs a creamy base without needing a blender.

Try one change

Replace the snap peas with 1 cup ready-to-eat carrot sticks of a size the adult considers suitable.

Serving & storing

Refrigerate covered at 40°F or below within 2 hours of preparation (1 hour above 90°F); use within 1 day. For a packed lunch, use an insulated lunch bag with two cold sources and keep chilled until eating; discard uneaten packed portions after lunch.
