Why I Homeschool Reason #465 - I don't have to pack lunches!
Ok, that's not entirely true. I do have to pack a lunch periodically and I still have to make lunch everyday. Chicken nuggets and french fries are usually a hit, but my youngest has an irrational dislike of easy stuff like sandwiches. Fortunately, I have a secret weapon that will get even my picky 4-year-old to down that sandwich and LIKE IT.
Behold! Sandwich-on-a-stick!
Slice up the bread and meat into 1" squares and stack them up with cheese cubes. Spear them with a frilly or sword-shaped toothpick and toss a bunch of them in a sandwich bag. What was just a plain boring sandwich is now the coolest thing at the lunch table. You can also do this with fruit and it never hurts to throw in a princess or pirate napkin.

I love this! I usually just use a shape cutter for sandwiches, but even that gets boring after a while. Thanks for the tip!
How fun. My daughter would love this since she usually takes her meat & cheese sandwiches apart to eat them anyway!
HOW FUN!!!!! I LOVE this! My boys like anything I put on a stick (of course then, they turn the stick into a light saber...)! Thanks for sharing this neat idea!
That is such a cute idea!
Good idea! I wonder if this will get my son to eat sandwiches other than peanut butter and jelly.
My kids will go crazy for this fun lunch tip! I can't wait to surprise them with it tomorrow. Thanks!
So cute! Great ideas for little ones' lunches at http://lunchinabox.net.
