Fill each Ziploc about 1/3 of the way full with a snack, and get all the air out of the baggie as it is being zipped closed. If you place the snacks on the table your child can pick what they want and fill the bag themselves.

Fold the baggie down and separate the snack in the bag by pushing about half the snack to each side of the baggie so there is an empty space in the middle.

 Clip on your clothespin in the empty space so now the snack has 2 equal sides.
