  • 9 thin slices of peeled cucumber
  • 2 slices whole-wheat or white bread
  • 2 tbsp. peanut butter (or room temperature cream cheese)
  • 1 tbsp. low-sugar strawberry jam (or your favorite jam)
  • 2 slices whole-wheat or white bread
  • 2 tsp. softened butter or mayonnaise
  • 1 slice roast turkey
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese

Supplies

  • Cookie cutters in assorted shapes

Directions

  1. Step 1: Make the Cream Cheese-Cucumber Sandwich

    Spread the softened cream cheese on one slice of the bread. Top with the cucumbers, overlapping them slightly. Place the other slice of bread on top and press down slightly. Wrap with plastic wrap.

  2. Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich

    Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread. Top with the jam. Place the other slice of bread on top and press down slightly. Wrap with plastic wrap.

  3. Step 3: Make the Turkey & Cheese Sandwich

    Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise or butter on one side of each slice of the bread. Top one slice of bread with the turkey. Add the cheese on top. Place the other slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, on top and press down slightly. Wrap with plastic wrap.

  4. Step 4: Refrigerate

    Refrigerate the sandwiches for 30 minutes.

  5. Step 5: Cut into shapes and serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the refrigerator. Unwrap them and then cut just the crusts from each chilled sandwich. Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut each sandwich into shapes such as squares, diamonds, circles, triangles, or rectangles. Arrange on a platter, and then serve with your child's favorite tea or drink.
