Use any cookie cutter on hand to make this super simple sprinkly sandwich!

~~~~

Sprinkly Sandwich

~ Bread ~ Peanut Butter ~ Sprinkles ~
~ Cookie Cutter ~ Other Embellishments ~

Make any sandwich you would like, or start with a piece of bread or toast.

Spread with peanut butter, cream cheese, yogurt, or any other spread you’d like.

Place cookie cutter on bread and drop sprinkles inside the cutter evenly.

Remove cookie cutter and add additional embellishments, if desired.
I used micro marshmallows and sweet tart bears, but you can use
raisins, chocolate chips, nuts, or anything else you have on hand.

This would be a great simple snack for a sleepover or birthday party.

Fun Kids Lunch: Caterpillar Sandwich

These little guys are a little time consuming, but totally fun!!

~~~~

CATERPILLARS

~~

Make any kind of sandwich. Use a sterilized vitamin bottle (or tiny circle cookie cutter) and cut one piece out of each corner of the sandwich and then cut one out of the middle to make 5 pieces.  Take 4 pieces of the sandwich and stick a pretzel stick into the back.  Cut 2 olives in half.  Place each half on each of the pretzel sticks already in the sandwich.  Now put all the pieces together with the 5th piece on the end. You may need to break a little bit off each stick to make the pieces fit more closely together. Break a pretzel stick in half for the antenna.  Cut a raisin in half and use the sticky inside to adhere them to the sandwich to make the eyes.  Use an olive slice or cut it in half for the mouth.  Take 4 pretzel sticks and slide them under the olive sections for the legs.  This little guy just might crawl off the plate to find a great place for his cacoon!!

Simple Kids Lunch: Butterfly Sandwich

This adorable butterfly will make your kids flutter with creativity!!

~~~~

BUTTERFLY SANDWICH

Take a single piece of bread and spread peanut butter or any other spread you would like on it.  Cut the bread in half diagonally and place on plate.  Use a piece of celery for the body.  You could also use carrots, cheetos, or whatever your child will eat for the butterfly body.  Get some toppings such as raisins, miniature marshmallows, chocolate chips, bananas, or nuts and put them on a plate.  Let your child use their imagination to create beautiful wings. My 5 yr old decorated the one shown.  Break a pretzel stick in half and stick miniature marshmallows on top for the antenna. Feel that creativity fluttering?
