Getting children excited about eating healthy food can be a challenge for most parents and these creative kid's sandwiches cleverly use art and design to entice children to eat wholesome ingredients. The sandwiches feature toppings arranged to look like landscapes and animals in the hopes of luring youngsters to eat nutritious food on a daily basis.
Kelsey Nixon put together these adorable sandwich designs to outsmart young kids into eating their fruits and veggies. The sandwiches feature an array of healthy ingredients such as turkey, carrots, cheese, zucchini, strawberries and wholegrain bread that can look unappetizing to a child if dressed like a conventional sandwich. To overcome this, Nixon arranges the foods to look like a lion's mane with the sandwich face in the middle and cheese and carrot slices making the mane or a peanut butter and banana monkey face sandwich. This way, kids are drawn to the aesthetic of the food and are more likely to consume it.
