Sandwich Kabobs-A Fun Lunch Idea for Kids
My kids are the masters of deconstructing sandwiches. This time, I beat them to the punch. These sandwich kabobs are already in bite sized pieces and ready for devouring.
Sometimes it’s simply for fun that we switch things up. A little element of surprise, a slight change in schedule, or transforming the daily sandwiches into kabobs…
These small changes can mean fresh light in my kid’s eyes or a spark of curiosity for learning something new. As a mom, that is what makes these shenanigans worth it to me.
