Sleepy koala sandwich

Serves:

Ingredients

• 2 slices of bread
• 1 slice of cheese
• peel of 1 small cucumber
• 1 carrot, peeled and sliced lengthways
• lettuce leaves
• 2 raisins

Method

Using the photo as a guide, cut the koala head and ears from the bread and the ear shapes from the cheese.

Cut some thin strands of cucumber peel to make the nose and mouth shapes and then form the carrot into shapes for the ear details.

With a pair of kitchen scissors, cut the ‘leaf’ shapes from the lettuce.

Assemble the koala on a large plate, as per the photo, using the raisins for the eyes.
