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.
Making Sandwich Kabobs
Materials Needed: (Affiliate links)
- Wooden Skewers
- Small Cookie Cutters
- Sandwich fixings
Directions:
- Using the cookie cutters, cut shapes from the bread, cheese, and meat. (Get creative, there are no rules here.)
- Add each element of the sandwich to skewer, being careful to make sure it goes directly through the center.
- Layer the kabob filling the skewer. Make sure you leave a little room to hold the ends.
Note: You can add some condiments as you go, OR make a dipping sauce for the final product.
Kids Can Help
I love meal ideas that can involve the kids. First of all, I kind of like having the munchkins around. Secondly, it’s a great opportunity to teach some basic life skills while having fun.
