I thought it might be fun to do a food related craft this week.

Butterfly Sandwich

You need:

Bread
Cream cheese, peanut butter, or other bread spread
Banans, raisins, pickles, and vegetable slices

Create an open-faced butterfly sandwich by cutting a slice of bread diagonally, then reversing the halves to form a butterfly. Spread with cream cheese, peanut butter, or any other sandwich spread, then decorate with pickles, banana slices, raisins or pieces of soft fruit. Cut carrots or peppers in thin slices for the antennae. (fun, creative, toddler involvement, and loaded with fruits & veggies- everyone wins!)

Zoo Sandwiches

You need:

Sliced Bread
Cream cheese or peanut butter
Cream
Food coloring (optional)
Plastic knives
Animal cookie cutters

Combine cream cheese with cream in a mixing bowl (1 tbs of cream per 3 ounces of cream cheese). Mix with a spoon until the cream cheese is soft. Add a few drops of food coloring, if desired and stir well. Cut bread in animal shapes with cookie cutters. Use a small plastic knife or popsicle stick to spread the cream cheese mixture on the bread.

If your child is not fond of cream cheese, use peanut butter, honey or jam instead and omit the food coloring.

You can also add fruits & veggies for the eyes/mouth/spots ect.


Have fun!
