Preparation time: 10 minutes  Difficulty rating: Easy

Ingredients

1 sandwich made by you using nutritious wholegrain bread or gluten free bread, depending on dietary requirements

Carrots sliced into long thin strips and one flat carrot piece cut into a triangle

A couple halved cherry tomatoes

Cucumber slices

Nuts, seeds or raisins

Tips

• Use the images we’ve created to guide you. A very simple and versatile cut is to lay your sandwich down and cut the bottom corners off, just like we’ve done.
• Then you can play around. Move the triangles into different configurations to create an owl, crab, grasshopper, a strange looking face, or anything else that comes to you.
• Use your vegetable slices and other ingredients to make faces, trees, tails, little flowers, etc.
• Be creative and have fun. Your kids will be delighted with whatever invention you whip up.
