Cookie Cutter Fun

To add a quick hit of fun to children’s packed lunches, once in a while use cookie cutters on their sandwiches. My mom used to do this with peanut butter sandwiches, and my brother and I swear they tasted better!

Also, my Ron has shared stories of making sandwiches out of various mixtures of jelly, peanut butter, Nutella, marshmallow cream, etc and then cutting them in half into bizarre haphazard shapes (including taking a circle out of the middle). I’m not entirely sure his boys enjoyed this practice, but it seems to have greatly amused Ron.

Stickers on sandwich baggies are also a nice midday touch.

And as long as we’re on the subject of school lunches, sometimes if we were out of bread, mom would use biscuits instead, and they were pretty good!
