“Finding Dory” swam into theaters over the weekend so I thought this would be a great time to share an underwater themed kid-friendly peanut butter & jellyfish sandwich idea with you all. As a mom of three kids under 7, “fun” is not usually at the top of my list when it comes to meals. Presentation goes a long way, but I’m usually in such a rush due to children who truly think they are starving on a regular basis that “fun” goes right out the window. As part of a challenge from the folks at Nature’s Harvest® bread, I came up with this Peanut Butter & Jellyfish sandwich using items I had on hand.
What You Need for Your Peanut Butter & Jellyfish Sandwich
Bread- I used Nature’s Harvest® Honey Wheat Whole Grain bread
Your Favorite Peanut Butter & Jelly
For the Tentacles & Mouth:
1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
String Cheese would also work.
For the Eyes:
Apple, Banana, Cheese- anything you can cut into a circle
2 Tiny Sprinkles (You may substitute raisins as welll.)
For the Nose:
Strawberry, Blueberry- anything diced into a tiny piece will work
Tools Needed:
Round glass or cookie cutter
Assembly is quite simple and I’m sure the photos speak for themselves. After cutting your peanut butter & jellyfish sandwich into a circle, place two round slices of apple (or banana) for eyes adding two sprinkles (or raisins) to complete them. Using a thin slice of cucumber or string cheese, create the mouth and finish the face with a tiny berry for the nose. Arrange your slices of cucumber or string cheese to resemble jellyfish tentacles and your peanut butter & jellyfish sandwich is complete! You could add a cute fish shaped boiled egg as a side. I had some tiny fish fruit cutters (from a small animal cutter set) so I added some cute kiwi fish along side our peanut butter & jellyfish sandwich. Use whatever you have!
