We came up with these cute picture sandwiches to tackle after-school tummy rumbles and bring a smile to some little faces. They're inspired by Japanese bento box snacks and are really easy to make. All you need is bread, your favourite sandwich filling and a knife. Time and servings

Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 tbsp of mayonnaise or butter
- 1 slice of cheese
- 1 slice of ham
Method
Step 1
Spread the bread with mayonnaise or butter and place a slice of cheese on one and a slice of ham on another.Step 2
Take the remaining two pieces of bread and use a knife or small biscuit cutter to cut four ‘windows’ out of each slice (cut any shape you like but make sure it’s smaller than 3cm; to make a bear, as we have, cut a circle, then carve out the ears with a knife). Pop these slices on top of the ham and cheese, so the fillings show through.Step 3
Trim the crusts off the sandwiches and cut each into four. Don’t waste the cut-out pieces of bread – fry them in butter and serve with a sprinkling of cinnamon powder and sugar.
