# What You'll Need:

02 - 4 tablespoons cream cheese
03 - 4 tablespoons peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
04 - 4 tablespoons strawberry jam

10 - 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
11 - 1 red bell pepper
12 - 1 yellow bell pepper
13 - 1 cup baby carrots
# How To Make It:
01 - Cut bread slices into rectangles representing train cars and one larger piece for the engine using cookie cutters or a knife. Assemble assorted sandwiches by spreading cream cheese and cucumber, peanut butter and jam, or cheddar with optional turkey or ham. Gently press sandwiches together.
02 - Place celery stalks parallel on a large serving board to form rails. Lay pretzel sticks across the celery at regular intervals to create cross-ties.
03 - Position sandwich rectangles atop the celery tracks as train cars. Attach cucumber rounds and cherry tomato halves as wheels, securing with small dabs of cream cheese if needed. Use red and yellow bell pepper slices to decorate the engine with details and windows.
04 - Arrange baby carrots and additional cucumber slices around the platter for snacking and visual appeal.
05 - Present immediately and encourage children to play with their train cars before eating.
