Whacky Alphabet Sandwiches

What you'll need:

• Colored Cardstock
• Scissors
• 1 black marker
• Crayons or markers
• Ziploc bag

1. With adult supervision, cut out two thin, rectangular pieces of brown cardstock to represent the "bread". Set aside. (see photos)
2. Using the scissors, cut out a thin "slice" of each of the following colors of cardstock. Write the sandwich ingredient that corresponds with each piece of cardstock in the center of the cardstock. On the left and right side, write the first letter of the sandwich ingredient as a capital letter. For example, for lettuce, write "L" on the ends of the cardstock. (see photos)
