Silly sandwich face

Hello!

Makes 1
15 minutes
Difficulty Easy
7 Ingredients

I love making silly sandwich faces; a good way to get kids involved in the kitchen and getting them to try different fillings. Use different combinations of ingredients.

Ingredients (makes 1 silly sandwich face)

2 slices bread
butter
Few leaves lettuce
Few slices tomato
Couple of slices ham
2 slices cheese
2 mixed olives

Method

Place two slices of bread on a plate; spread the slices with butter.
Then start to add the fillings; layer each ingredient so that it looks like a silly face.
Roll up the cheese and pop an olive in each end so it looks like crazy eyes. Pop another olive in the middle off the rolled up cheese, this is the nose!

Notes

I love making silly sandwich faces; a fun activity with the kids. Let your creativity run wild.

This made me smile and I think it would do the same if packed in my daughter’s lunch box! Thanks for sharing. I’m sure it will be a hit when she starts school soon.

That looks quite a fun idea if your kids don’t already eat salad sandwiches.

How creative! I love the look of this sandwich. I would never have thought of making a face in the side of the sandwich like that. I’m afraid the most creative I would be is to draw a face in sauce!..Pretty lame compared to yours. It made me smile as soon as I saw it.

I like to get the kids involved in what they are eating and it starts at the supermarket. We shop for food off a list and they get to take a few items off the shelves and place in the trolley. They help with unpacking and we look at what we have got for lunch and we make our lunch interesting. Silly sandwiches are great we do the same with BBQ sausages and mash potatoes and veggies. Put all ingredients in the middle of the table and see what they can make. Then who can clean up their plate and pack it away in the dish-washer or sink. I find kids who do this eat better and like more foods.
