Here is a fun and creative sandwich you might have never tried before. To make an owl-face sandwich, you need tomato, cheese (or boiled potatoes), carrots and pumpkin seeds. Begin by toasting two slices of bread and placing them on each other. You can put any filling of your choice between the slices. To make the owl on top, take two circular slices of cheese or boiled potatoes for the eyes. Place pumpkin seeds on the eyes. Now, vertically slice a ring to get two semicircles. Place these at either end for the arms. Make tiny legs and nose triangles using carrots. You can place the legs at an additional strip of bread at the bottom. Your creative and tasty owl-face sandwich is ready.

To make this sandwich, you need an apple, banana, black grapes (or raisins), and peanut butter. The shape for cutting apples can be a little difficult, so it is best to cut it yourself before the child begins to assemble. To make the face of a dog, spread some peanut butter in an oval shape at the bottom half of the bread. Now place three slices of banana for the ears and nose. Use tiny pieces of black grapes or raisins for the eyes and nose. Finish the detailing by placing a bow-shaped apple between the two ears or under the mouth. The super sweet dog sandwich is ready.
