Everyone loves finger foods! So cutting a "boring" sandwich into little bites is always sure to please! Add in the alternating shades of bread and you have a very easy way to make it fun! You can either make one sandwich on darker bread and one on lighter then mix and match, or what I did here, which is one slice of each per sandwich and flip every other square. This is a fun idea for when you are finishing off one loaf of bread and starting on a different one, or to help motivate kids to warm up to the idea of "brown" whole wheat bread versus white all the time!
I added in some
Driscoll's organic strawberries because they're a special treat every time!
[Driscoll's sent me coupons for free strawberries. This post contains affiliate links.]
Big Sister's Bunny Board

| Gluten-free Sunbutter-jelly sandwich, organic carrots, Driscoll's organic strawberries |
Both girls got their own little checkerboards, which I just hand-cut, although you could make this very easily with a
FunBites Squares cutter. I was just too lazy to find it...
I included a
bunny fork pick to make the sandwich bites more fun to eat.
Toddler Bites

| Driscoll's organic strawberries, organic apple, carrots, and tomatoes, GF Sunbutter-jelly sandwich |
Little Sis got a
kitty fork pick because she's more into kitties and puppies, versus Big Sister's bunny love.
After-School Snack
 |
| GF Sunbutter-jelly sandwich bites, organic apples and grapes |
Both sandwiches made 12 bites each, but I preferred the look of 9 per lunch, so I skewered the extras with
music note picks and packed them with some more fruit for an after-school snack for the girls to share. Between the leftovers in Z's lunch and this extra snack, we were quite popular with Z's favorite school friends on the playground!
