Izzy is hungry, hungry, hungry! He’s ready to go hunting…for a delicious animal face sandwich. Want to join him?
What you need
- bread
- peanut butter (for children with peanut allergies, possible substitutes include cream cheese, tahini, or almond butter)
- raisins
- carrots
- pickles or an apple
- spoon or plastic knife (for child)
- carrot grater (for adult)
- knife (for adult)
What you do
-
Let your child spread the peanut butter (or substitute) on a slice of bread with a spoon or plastic knife.
-
Now the fun begins as he or she turns the open-face sandwich into an animal. Encourage your child’s creativity. Raisins can become a nose and eyes. Grated carrots make perfect fur. You can slice a pickle or an apple into thin slivers for whiskers or triangles for ears.
-
The best part? Now it’s time for a snack!
Some more fun animal facts to share:
We aren’t the only ones who like carrots. Other animals do too. Horses, donkeys, and rabbits love ‘em!

Squirrels love raisins. But don’t give any to your dog. Raisins (and grapes) can be very dangerous for dogs.
People eat all sorts of foods, but the koala only eats eucalyptus leaves.
