Instructions

1. Give each child two pieces of bread. Show them how to use cookie cutters to
cut out shapes from the bread. (Smaller ones work well, but larger ones can
be used if no bigger than a slice of bread.)
2. Next, encourage the children to spread peanut butter and jelly on the bread
to make a sandwich.
3. Use the sandwiches for a tea party or picnic lunch or just a fun snack.
More to do
Holidays: Use holiday-shaped cookie cutters and have a party.
