A sandwich that smiles back? Your child will eat this one up!

orangutan sandwich

What you need:

  • 1 slice of whole-grain bread
  • red and yellow food coloring
  • carrot slivers
  • 1/3 cup of hummus
  • 1 banana
  • 4 raisins

 

What you do:

  1. Trim the crust off a slice of bread to make an oval.
  2. Add 3 drops each of red and yellow food coloring to 1/4 cup of the hummus to make it orange. Mix well.
  3. Spread the orange hummus over the bread, leaving a round space at the bottom for a snout. Cover this space with the uncolored hummus.
  4. Stick on banana slices for eyes. Then add a raisin in the center of each eye for pupils.
  5. Use two more raisins for nostrils and carrot slivers to make hair and a smile. Serve with the remainder of the banana for an orangutan-approved meal.
