What do you do when your 6 year old is missing his grandparents something terrible? Why, you make sandwiches of course!
So the 6 year old was missing the grandparents today and the usual video call chat just didn't seem to be enough. We brainstormed a bit and decided a joint activity which could be done virtually might just do the trick. How about cooking suggested the 6yo, who is quite the young chef in the making. Some more brainstorming on no-fire cooking ideas and the concept of Sandy Snack-O-Wich was born!
The dining table was transformed into a tech-savvy zone with the laptop positioned at a strategic angle, and ingredients were assembled for these super healthy cheese, chutney, packed-with-veggies sandwiches. While my mom and the 11yo chatted, my dad and the 6yo made these sandwiches together.
The powers of imagination and creativity were unleashed and they came up with this cool concept of sandwiches that aren't just healthy and good to eat, but also look like the creators! Grandpa and grandson made the exact same sandwiches- one that looks like the 6yo and one that looks like Grandpa๐๐๐
Can you guess which one is Grandpa and which one is the young 'un?
Sandy Snack-O-Wich was such a huge success that a paean had to be written in its honour:
When I'm feeling a little hungry
And my tummy needs a TREAT
My grandpa has a SUPER SNACK
That's really kinda neat!
It's loaded up with veggies
A colorful, crunchy DELIGHT
With bread and cheese to go with it
You'll long to take a BITE!
When Grandpa and I cook together
This SNACK you're sure to see
But do you know my FAVORITE bit?
It looks like HIM and ME!!!
