Simply cutting sandwiches (and quesadillas) into different shapes is a fun project for him and it’s an easy way to make a holiday (or any day’s) meal more festive. Happy Halloween!

Train Toast

One morning I was playing around with my son’s toast and the next thing I knew it had transformed itself into a train. Spread the train toast with your choice of jams, nut butters, Nutella, etc. Make the train as long as you’d like and fill the train cars with different fruits and other toppings.
