Shapely Surprise

We admit that some of yesterday’s ideas for pumping up the fun quotient into your kids’ lunches was a bit over the top and probably for special occasions only no matter what your type, but since Life Should Be Easy is our motto, today we have the easy, simpler way to make your kids lunches a bit more exciting.

Cookie cutters. Or rather, specially designed for sandwiches cookie cutters. We think it might take a little more nudging for Classic Structures (STJs and Fun Structures (STPs) to get on board the souped up cookie cutter bandwagon because what’s practical or logical about wasting the crusts and big pieces of food? Nothing. It’s not about logic. It’s just really cool and inventive and that’s why we’re guessing Smart (NT) parents are the ones who caught onto this right away. And for the rest of the types who are still being influenced by both the Great Depression and today’s Great Recession, well, y’know if they only eat half the sandwhich anyway, why not give them the good bits?

If you really want to out do yourself here there are tons of stores and websites that sell cutters in all kinds of shapes and sizes just for sandwiches. Does your kid love dinos? This individual cutter will give them two little dinosaur friends at lunch. Maybe you want to throw in some variety in—Pottery Barn Kids has this whole set with everything from elephants to butterflies.
