Instruction manual

We are used to doing something unusual, tasty and beautiful to do for any reason - birthday, new year and other holidays. Children love celebrations, so let them rejoice more often, at the same time cheerfully killing for both cheeks the dishes you cooked, beautifully and unusually decorated. Sweets are loved by all children, but meat, porridge and vegetables are not very. If you are interested and surprise a child, he will gladly empty the plate. Often children like to make small “snacks” during the day. Therefore, you can prepare canapé sandwiches for them. The basis will be a slice of bread, which you can arrange in various ways. Next, you need to figure out what exactly you want to portray, and then in what exactly way you can do it. Cutting various shapes with a knife from sausage and cheese, you can design a children's sandwich in the form of any animal. Slices of olives will serve as eyes, which are very convenient to mount on a drop of mayonnaise.
