  • Next determine what will work best with YOUR child. Some children may see green in their sandwich and freak out. They may take one bite and find something crunchy then refuse to eat any more. The cucumber may be chopped into tiny pieces by a food processor or peeled and sliced or simply sliced. Our easy tip for peeling cucumbers is to use a carrot peeler. It is much safer than a knife - for adults or children!

Variation: Top with a piece of sandwich meat, lettuce, and or sprouts if you believe that will help your child try it.

    These sandwiches are simple, tasty and easy enough for even small children to make for themselves (once the cucumber is cut or sliced).
