To make this sandwich, you need an apple, banana, black grapes (or raisins), and peanut butter. Cutting apples into shapes can be a bit tricky, so it’s best to cut them yourself before your child starts collecting apples. Spread a little peanut butter in an oval shape on the bottom half of the bread to make the dog’s face. Now place three pieces of banana on the ears and nose. Use small pieces of black grapes or raisins for the eyes and nose. Finish the details by placing a bow-shaped apple between both ears or below the mouth. Super sweet dog sandwich is ready.
