animal crackers animals

Animal crackers commonly appear in assorted animal shapes (lions, elephants, bears, etc.) and other kid-friendly forms; some products use specific shapes such as bunnies or bears and are sold in novelty containers shaped like animals.

Animal crackers are broadly marketed to kids and families. Some varieties are specifically targeted to toddlers and carry labels indicating suitability for young children (for example, products labeled for 12 months and older).

Animal crackers are sold in a range of sizes and formats: single small bags and 6–10 ounce boxes, large containers (up to about 46 ounces), multi-pouch variety packs, and single-serve snack packs. Common format types include resealable or jar-style containers and standalone pouches.

Look for resealable or reusable containers and twist-off lids—these packaging features help keep animal crackers fresher after opening.
