Make your kid a star

Wow them with a little lunch box magic. Fun-shaped sandwiches can chase away the brown bag blues and inspire them to munch their lunch.

Make your kid a star
  1. Make two sandwiches with the same filling using white bread for one, whole wheat for the other.
  2. Use two star-shaped cookie cutters to press into the centre of each sandwich. Remove the star, with the cookie cutter still around it. Place the white star shape inside the frame of the whole-wheat sandwich and place the whole wheat star inside the white sandwich. Pack in lunch boxes and let the kids enjoy a two-toned treat.

Kraft Kitchens Quick Tips

  • Make sandwiches using Philadelphia Cream Cheese Spread and Kraft Singles Slices ahead, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze individually. Take out one at a time in the morning and they'll be thawed in time for lunch.
  • No More Soggy Sandwiches: Pack "wet" ingredients like pickles or tomatoes in separate containers to keep sandwiches dry until lunch time.
