Eat a Snowman Shaped Sandwich
[15 Minutes]
Make a snowman outside; come inside and prepare snowman sandwiches!
You'll need:
• egg salad, tuna salad, peanut butter and jelly, or luncheon meats • white bread • round cookie cutters • lettuce • slices of cheese • carrot or celery sticks • olives or raisins
What to do:
- Give your child 2 pieces of bread and a cookie cutter. Help her cut 2 circles out of each piece of bread.
- Invite her to spread a filling on the 2 circles and cover them with the other circles.
- Encourage her to create a snowman sandwich on a plate using the two circle sandwiches as the outline and adding details with other vegetables.
- Take a picture of the sandwich before she eats it.
- Keep any leftover bread scraps in a bag in the refrigerator to feed the birds on your next winter walk.
Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.
