FUN SHAPED SANDWICHES TO PROMOTE HEALTHY EATING
In class we simply used cream cheese and fruit jelly and bread and some fun cookie cutters to create a snack that was fun to eat!
Below is an article taken from
on making lunch for kids both HEALTHY & FUN and using BENTO BOXES in place of traditional lunch boxes.
Use Kids Sandwich Cutters for Lunch and Teatime Fun!
Do you want to make something a little more inspiring for your kids' lunchboxes than limp, soggy sandwiches? Do you have trouble getting them to eat their sandwiches at all, no matter how yummy you try to make them? Or perhaps they love sandwiches already, but you simply want to have some fun!
Shaped food of any kind is always a hit with kids. While shaped pre-packaged food is not always that healthy, making your own shaped sandwiches is easy and you have full control over the content, so can make them as healthy as you want! All you need is a selection of cookie cutters or sandwich cutters.

Make faces, characters, people, animals and anything else that grabs your imagination out of a sandwich, and build an entire lunchbox around them! For example, use fruit and vegetables as rocks, bushes and other landscape features to accompany an animal sandwich.
You can buy Bento boxes to put the lunch in, which have divided sections in which to put the different elements of your Bento meal.

The trend of Bento is also growing in popularity, where the food in a lunchbox is turned into a wonderful miniature scene, so if you're inspired to try this, a shaped sandwich is a great place to start. Shaped sandwiches are also ideal for children's parties and other events!
Bento is a boxed meal, that is art as well as a healthy meal. Originating in Japan, it consists of a healthy lunch in a box, made to resemble cute characters in a cute setting.
