Many parents are familiar with the situation when the child refuses to eat. Of course, parents try to go to different tricks in order to still feed their child. Today I offer you a variant of a children's educational sandwich. The ingredients of this sandwich are quite affordable, their benefits are obvious, and the developmental and educational effect is that:
- You can cook this sandwich with your child and make "paints" from vegetables together.
- You will be able to learn or repeat basic colors.
- You will feed your child tasty and healthy.
For cooking children's sandwich"Palette of colors" we need the following products: sandwich bread, butter, chicken ham, hard cheese, vegetables.
Spread a piece of bread with butter.
Put a piece or two of chicken ham on top.
Take the cheese at your discretion, I have Gouda cheese. We put the cheese on the ham and with the help of a knife we trim the edges and cut off the crust from the bread.
Now let's get creative. We make a small hole in the cheese and insert a dill brush.
Let's try to reproduce a palette of colors from vegetables of different colors:
- red: tomato or bell pepper
- orange: carrot
- yellow: bell pepper or corn kernels
- green: cucumber
- brown: olives
- white: radish, daikon
Cut out circles of the same diameter from vegetables.
We spread the circles on the sandwich in random order.
Children's sandwich "Palette of colors" is ready.
If you have the time and creativity, you can do a little magic and turn a piece of cheese into a real palette. I am no artist, so do not judge strictly. But my granddaughter liked the sandwich. She helped cook it and then with pleasure crunched multi-colored circles in turn, and even the tassel was eaten with pleasure, well, and the sandwich, respectively, too.
