Toasted "Scream Cheese" Sandwich

My girls, especially the 3-year-old E, both love the Hotel Transylvania movie (even though the whole concept of having a "zing" is ridiculous and totally against all the lessons I've worked hard to teach them about relationships!) We rearranged some plans so we could see the Sensory Friendly showing of Hotel Transylvania 2 together last weekend.

So when I had this loaf of gluten-free bread with a giant hole in a bunch of the slices, I got out some eye picks and made a Hotel Transylvania-inspired "scream cheese" toasted sandwich for my 2nd grader! Totally got the idea from a lunch I saw over at Lunches With Love a while back. So fun!

Gluten-free toasted goat cheese sandwich, organic crunchy peanut butter, organic carrots and apples

The arms and legs picks came from a Rose Art Fun Dough Monster Mania set. I choose to turn a blind eye to whether or not they're food safe plastic... They're so cute with those eye picks! I stuck another eye in with the apple slices, for good measure. I love how the muffin cup of peanut butter for her apples makes it look like her sandwich monster is losing his kibble. I was tempted to make a stream of chunky peanut butter coming out of his mouth too, but thought that that might be going a little too far...

I used an orange and black tie-dye muffin cup for her carrots to make it Halloween-y and monster-y, and used the black lid from the EasyLunchboxes Urbans set for the lunchbox.
