Back to school is just around the corner! Send the little ones off with an adorable fairy sandwich that you can easily prepare the night before. Read on for a quick, fun, and kid-friendly back-to-school sandwich idea.
Coming up with lunch ideas can be one of the biggest back-to-school challenges. Kids often want the same things repeatedly, but with little ones starting preschool, a playful sandwich can make lunchtime more exciting. This fairy sandwich is simple to assemble and looks delightful in a lunchbox.
How to Make a Fairy Sandwich
This fairy sandwich is as sweet as it looks and very quick to make. I used a small heart-shaped cookie cutter and filled the sandwich with peanut butter and jelly, but you can switch the filling to Nutella, cream cheese, or any spread your child prefers. Any small cookie cutter shape works—stars, circles, or flowers all look great.
Ingredients and Instructions
Ingredients:
2 slices of bread
Peanut butter, Nutella, or cream cheese
Jelly (optional)
Small cookie cutter
Sprinkles (for the cut-out area)
Instructions:
1. Place the cookie cutter on the corner or center of one slice of bread and press down firmly to cut out the shape.
2. Spread your chosen filling (peanut butter, Nutella, or cream cheese) and jelly on the other slice of bread.
3. Place the slice with the cut-out shape on top of the filled slice. Gently fill the cut-out area with a thin layer of sprinkles so they sit in the hollowed shape.
4. If you prepare the sandwich the night before, place it in a sandwich bag and refrigerate. Adding a small sweet note to the lunchbox is a nice extra touch.
