Method
Sandwich - choose one (Salami, Turkey, or Ham)
Prepare bread
Place two slices of sandwich bread on a clean work surface. Spread 1 teaspoon of butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of one slice (this will be the inside of the sandwich).
Assemble sandwich
On the slice with spread, place one slice of cheddar cheese. Choose the protein: place 3 slices of salami OR 3 slices of turkey OR 3 slices of ham on top of the cheese. Add the lettuce leaf and two tomato slices (omit tomato if child prefers). Top with the second bread slice, spread-side down.
Finish
If desired, trim the crusts for a typical kids' presentation and cut the sandwich in half diagonally or into fun shapes with a cookie cutter. Place on plate.
Sides
Snack or treat
Measure about 1 ounce of goldfish crackers or one small cookie and place in a small compartment or cup to keep them separate from moist items.
Drink
Pour 1 cup of apple juice or milk into a child-size cup. Serve with the meal. For safety, ensure the drink is not too cold and supervise young children while eating.
