Homemade Graham Crackers Recipe

This Homemade Graham Crackers Recipe is one that your kids will love!
 
They are a bit sweeter tasting than store bought graham crackers, but they also have a tad bit more nutrition due to the added wheat germ. My kids go crazy for them, but so does my hubby!
 
Of course, you can cut these into whatever shapes you like, but I especially love the shape designs (squares, circles, etc) because not only are they great for little hands, but you can use them as a learning tool as well.

Amazon has a nice selection of shape cookie cutters, starting at around $6.00 per set. The shape theme also makes them the perfect preschool and/or kindergarten snack!
