Sometimes I like to make lunch a little more fun. When we had letter “P” day our lunch consisted of a variety of foods starting with “P” — peas, peaches, pudding… We’ve had owl sandwiches and trains. On other days sandwich cutters make it easy to create fun shapes like stars, dinosaurs, and butterflies.
And lately I’ve learned another fun trick: sandwich painting!
Want to do a little painting yourself?
It’s super simple! You just need a new paintbrush, a little bit of creativity, and a tablespoon of milk with a couple drops of food coloring mixed in.
Just imagine your child’s smile when they open their lunch box to find a simple painted butterfly sandwich!
How do you add a little fun to lunch time?

August 28, 2013 at 7:31 pmWhat a great idea! The kids (and husband) would love this. It’s much healthier than decorating cookies too. 🙂

September 1, 2013 at 5:25 pmLOL — never thought about it, but definitely healthier than decorating cookies! I may need to let them decorate their own sandwiches soon.

September 1, 2013 at 5:18 pmI’d like to say I always try to make them cute… but sometimes they are just normal sandwiches! 🙂 Can’t wait to read your post about lunches!
