Sandwich - BUNNY - the base is made from a piece of bread with butter and cheese, if desired, add a piece of lettuce. On the base we place a bunny figurine made from a sausage or baby sausage. We also use carrots (raw or boiled depending on the child’s preferences), dill, olives for the eyes and a piece of olive for the nose and pupil.
The MONKEY ON A BRANCH sandwich is made from the same ingredients as the first sandwich. Instead of a branch we use straws.
An unusual sandwich - LION CUB - the base and ingredients are standard, but the mane is made from Marble cheese, the arms, legs and belly are made from any other type of cheese.
The MOUSE sandwich is a standard base of bread, salad and cheese, and the mice themselves are made from half a boiled egg, the ears and tail are made from sausage, the eyes are made from peppercorns or olives, and the mouth is optionally made from bell pepper, tomato or carrot.
LADYBUGS is another interesting sandwich and it is very quick and easy to make. The base is bread with cheese and a leaf of lettuce, put halves of a small tomato or cherry tomato on top and cut them to make wings. We make the head, legs and spots from olives.
Another version of LADYBUG is made from two types of sausage and black olives.
The LOCK AND KEY sandwich can be played in an interesting way - after eating the entire sandwich, you will open the door and you can go outside to play, or, after eating the entire sandwich, you will become the smartest and most knowledgeable.

To make this, you will need cream cheese or slices of regular cheese, ham and lettuce - all of these ingredients must be placed between two halves of a hamburger bun. The composition will be complemented by a casually hanging tongue in the form of a thin slice of pickled cucumber, cut lengthwise, and eyes made of olives with pieces of carrots. The eyes should be secured in the bun with toothpicks.
