Playing with your food is usually a no-no… but hopefully you can get (or give) permission to have a little fun!
Sandwiches are on lunch’s menu… but before just slapping two pieces of bread together, take a few minutes to be creative. Carrots can be shredded or cut to form hair, olives could be teeth or eyeballs, a slice of red pepper could be an ear or a big smile.
For a more refined look, try using cookie cutters to cut out shapes. (Tip: Soft bread will just get crushed by cookie cutters, so try freezing or toasting the bread first.)
Check out these ideas from Pinterest. (Fig 1, Fig 2, Fig 3)
