Fun Kid's Party Food - Part 2 of 8

Welcome to the second of our 8 part series on creating fun party food for or with your kids!

Last week's recipe was for cupcakes, so we thought we'd keep it healthy this week :-)

Here's how to make some fun sandwiches to fill your little ones up before they get to the cupcakes.

OINK OINK SANDWICH:
(A great addition to any Peppa Pig themed party - check out our Peppa Pig range on www.thepartypeople.ie for your next party).

What you'll need: (makes one portion)
- 1 slice of white bread;
- 1 cheese slice;
- 4 currants to garnish;
- 2 slices of ham;
- 1 spring onion; and
- 1 tbsp cheese spread e.g. from a tube for glue.

Instructions:

1. Cut out the pig's body from the bread using a 3 1/2 inch round cookie cutter and two circles using a 2 inch cutter.
2. Cut out eyes from the cheese using an icing nozzle.
3. Cut one small bread circle into two, then one half into quarters to make the ears.
4. Shape the remaining bread semi-circle into a shout and cut a piece of ham to fit it and the ears.
5. Assemble the pig by placing the little circle on top of the large one.
6. Add the ears, snout and eyes - you can use a small blob of cheese spread as glue.
7. Add currants to the eyes and snout.
8. Lastly, finely trim some of the green part of the spring onion to make a curly tail.
9. Watch your kids go crazy for this cool twist on a ham sandwich.....
