C added his name to the back.
As you can see I printed in black and white since we don't have color right now.  I'd recommend color, but it's not the end of the world.

This turned out to be a learning activity too.  I didn't think about it, but C helped in just about every way.  Writing his name many times and counting crackers as he placed them in the bags.  He had fun and is very proud of them.
