Creeping Caterpillar Sandwich

Here’s what you’ll need to make one caterpillar:

• Soft 10-inch tortilla shell
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons jelly or jam, any flavor
• 1 cherry tomato
• 2 yellow bell pepper slices
• 10 orange bell pepper slices
• 2 mini chocoloate chips

Directions:

1. Place the tortilla on a plate. Spread with a layer of peanut butter.
2. Follow with a layer of jelly.
3. Roll up the tortilla and slice it into four or five pieces.
4. Have your child place tortilla rolls on the plate in a curvy caterpillar shape.
5. Using a dollop of peanut butter as glue, attach the cherry tomato (caterpillar head) and yellow bell pepper strips (antennae) to one end of the caterpillar’s body.
6. Have your child arrange the orange bell pepper slices (legs) around the caterpillar’s body.
7. Using a small amount of peanut butter as glue, attach the mini chocoloate chips to the tomato for the eyes.

Variations:

• This sandwich can be made with any ingredients you prefer: egg or tuna salad, lunch meat, peanut butter, etc.
• If you don’t have orange and yellow peppers, use whatever veggies you have on hand to create legs and antennae.
