Hello dear blog readers!

An unshakable parental truth, which children do not really like: the diet must consist of breakfast, lunch and dinner. And between them it would be nice to have two small snacks. Snacking at the right time can help fight hunger, saturate your body with an extra dose of energy, and keep your child safe from overeating at dinner or lunchtime.

But what about the notorious strict phrases: "Do not spoil your appetite before dinner!" and "Stop biting!"?

Parents wonder whether it is worth having a snack for their child and what to offer nutritious, without a large number sugar and fat?

Alternatively, a sandwich. A piece of bread that you can put anything you want on it. For a snack, it is good because it is a small portion, but at the same time, it will eliminate hunger for a long time. And, yes - the child will not be able to kill his appetite with a small sandwich.

We will tell you how to make a children's sandwich useful, from what age you can teach a child to have such a snack, we will offer simple and original recipes for sandwiches.

At what age can you give your child a sandwich?

The main indicator of what is already possible is the child's ability to chew and swallow food. Children begin to grind food well with their teeth at the age of 1.5-2 years.

Sprat sandwiches can be given to a child older three years... No mayonnaise!

For the first try, you can trim off the crust of bread and cut the finished sandwich into small rectangles.

A healthy sandwich - does it happen?

The next question that worries young parents: what products to combine for healthy and tasty sandwiches?

Based on the name of the appetizer, you can understand that initially a sandwich is bread and butter. But a child is unlikely to be attracted by such a combination. There are many variations and types of sandwiches: sweet, hot, sandwiches without bread.

For children, a sandwich with vegetables and herbs would be a good option - it will saturate the body and be quickly absorbed by the body. Useful products also consider coarse bread, cereal bread with nuts, various oils, cottage cheese, boiled meat. These ingredients are perfect for making simple toddler sandwiches.

The use of muffins, mayonnaise, sausages and sausages in the children's menu negatively affects the health and development of children.

Children's hot sandwich - nuances

When it comes to hot sandwiches, the sausage and cheese option should not be included in the diet of babies. For children over 3 years old, you can offer hot sandwich cooked in the oven with black bread, olive oil, mozzarella cheese and tomatoes.

What can replace sausages and butter?

Sausage is an excellent substitute for boiled or oven-cooked turkey, chicken or veal meat.

Children's sandwich tasty and without butter, it is replaced vegetable oil(olive) or peanut butter... For children from 3 years old, it is better to take lungs healthy oils that do not cause allergies.

Bread for children's sandwiches

Fresh bread (straight from the oven) can cause constipation and stomach pain because it is acidic. For the right sandwich, use yesterday's bran bread, rye bread, Armenian thin pita or bread. If there is no alternative to fresh bread, dry the slices in the oven or toaster.

The difference between sandwiches from a children's table and sandwiches for adults is that for a child it can serve as an excellent snack as a separate dish, but for us a sandwich is just an appetizer.

Making sandwiches

If your little one is a capricious eater, then you can be creative to draw his attention to the small sandwich. You can decorate sandwiches with "animals" made from eggs, cucumbers, bell pepper, greens, tomatoes.

For decorating sweet sandwiches, nuts, fruit jams are suitable. The appearance of food for a child is in the first place, so he will never refuse to eat a sandwich with a "machine", "mushroom" or "muzzle" of a cute cat. Also, creative ideas will come in handy for sandwiches on the festive table.

Best sandwich recipes

1. Spread a slice of bread with cream cheese, put a few slices of apple on top.
2. Mash the boiled fish with a fork and mix with olive oil and herbs, spread on bread.
3. Mash the cottage cheese until a paste, finely chop a quarter of the apple. Spread on a loaf of bread.
4. Smear a slice of black bread with olive oil, put a piece of lettuce on top of it with a slice of chicken fillet.
5. Mix 50 grams of cottage cheese with 5 raspberries and strawberries. Spread this mixture over the base of the sandwich.

Homemade sausage recipe for sandwiches

If a family cannot imagine a sandwich without sausage and teaches a child to eat meat, then a choice is necessary between the store and homemade sausage... Yes, you will have to spend time and effort on cooking, but you can be sure that this sausage does not contain emulsifiers, dyes and substitutes.

Ingredients

• lean meat - 1 kg;
• carrots - 1 pc.;
• Bulgarian pepper - ½ part;

Cooking process

The basis can be a kilogram of lean veal, turkey, rabbit or chicken breast.

Cut the meat into layers, beat with a meat hammer. Place the slices in a rectangle on plastic wrap and season with salt.

Vegetables must be peeled and cut into strips. Place them on the meat at the beginning of the rectangle. Roll a tight roll, wrap cling film and tie with a thread.

Send the sausage to boiling water for 60 minutes, after it is ready, refrigerate for 5-6 hours.

All this must be done without slowing down so that the cheese can melt from the hot spaghetti and make the dish whole.

In this version of pizza, you should use ready-made products, since the formed dish will not be subject to heat treatment:

• fried or boiled mushrooms;
• cut sausages into mugs or boiled sausage cut into thin strips;
• pickled cucumbers (you can take baby cucumbers) and everyone's favorite corn;
• rings of tomatoes (cherry tomatoes will look good) and bell peppers.

Baked vegetables in a pot

Easy to prepare. At your discretion, you can bake vegetables with or without meat. But the design should be as unusual as possible! Form a circle from the dough and thin sausages - this will be an octopus, which should be used as a lid. For such a dish, it is better to use small pots - the children are unlikely to eat everything. This meal option is perfect for the Sea Pirates theme.

Another option for decorating baked vegetables is under cream cheese sauce... You can lay out the top in the form of faces from fresh vegetables- here you should try and include imagination. In order for your art to remain the way you intended it, you should decorate the ready-made dish.

• mashed potatoes.

To make it interesting, we don't just boil the sausages, but serve them in the form of octopuses. Making them is very simple, you just have to look at the photo. Of course, you need to buy the highest quality and freshest sausages!

Mashed potatoes

Basically, children love mashed potatoes. And if it is cooked according to all the rules with good oil yes with natural milk, even more so. And of course, you also need to serve it beautifully and with imagination!

It might be a good idea to cut a bell pepper train into the carriages. Children are unlikely to eat the trailers themselves, but it doesn't matter - after the holiday, use them for cooking either.

Fly agaric eggs

Such "fly agarics" can be served both on skewers, and simply by placing them on a plate, as an independent dish, or even as a decoration for mashed potatoes or the same trains. To compose these mushrooms for children, it will be preferable quail eggs- and more benefits and look more childish.

Baby sandwiches

Consider the types of canapes that children are likely to enjoy. A good option would be to put the sandwiches separately as a buffet table.
Sandwich "ladybug": loaf, spread-paste, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, black olives. The spots on the back are also from olives.

This option is best offered to older children to make sure they don't drop their food.
For the birthday of the little princess, heart-shaped sandwiches will be wonderful. The girls will love it!

Sandwiches-boats

These boats are just super!

Option 1: Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the pulp and fill the cucumber ready salad(at your discretion). Cut thin slices from a whole cucumber with a vegetable peeler (or on a grater with the appropriate side). After that, we attach the slice-sails with skewers to the base of the boat. Such boats look great!

Option 2: Here you need a bread with a dense texture. Butter is spread on it, cheese is on top, and on it is red fish. We fasten the sails from cheese to skewers.

You can also put a cheese and sausage plate on the table, where the products will be laid out in the form of an animal or something else on the theme of the holiday. Of course, parents who take care of their children should be careful when choosing cheese and sausages for their child. And, of course, this idea will not work for toddlers.

Original cheese plate

These trees can be built more than one, using different types cheese. But keep in mind that children do not always like cheese, so do not overclock too much if your holiday is for young children.

Puff salad with mice

Puff salad will also be interesting for children, and we will decorate it in a childish way too! You can lay out any salad in the form of a cheese head, which is laid out in layers - just keep in mind that all products must be suitable for children.

No one will argue that fruits are on the order healthier than cake, cakes and other industrial sweets. And the beautifully served fruit wants to be tasted faster.

Bananas in the form of pirates. You can make a bright bandage from large paper napkins or from small pieces of thin fabric. Draw faces, eye patches and various vegetation on the "face" with a marker. This drawing will be absolutely safe - after all, it will be on the peel.
The pirate theme is the simplest one because you can play almost anything in it.

For contests, you can use the following games:

• draw an SOS signal on a surface strewn with semolina (as a rule, this idea works out with a bang);
• pick bananas tied to the "palm" (without hands), so as not to starve to death on a desert island;
• look for a treasure with a bowl of flour, semolina (or something else suitable for this, turn on your ingenuity).

Homemade ice cream on the children's table

Making ice cream yourself takes a little work, but the result is worth it. There are also different options for decorating it.

A butterfly cake would be perfect for this scenario. The base should be cut out of the biscuit, covered with your favorite cream on top and already beautifully laid on it various fruits... Very bright, beautiful and original!
