Do your kids eat sandwiches?

sunnydays99 · April 2014

I am thinking of what to serve at DD's 2nd birthday party. I am considering getting either sandwich trays or trays of sandwich fixings to make your own. If I go this way I thought I'd also make up some kid friendly sandwiches like pb&j. What other sandwiches are kid friendly (ages 2-5 will be there). My kids love sandwiches of any sort but I'm thinking that's not the norm....

Nope. My kids like "sandwiches" with PB or Nutella, or a grilled cheese...but a sandwich with lunch meat or lettuce is a no go.

Neither DD nor DS will eat pb and/or jelly. DD will eat regular lunch meat sandwiches, but she deconstructs them to eat them. DS will eat sandwiches. His favorite is when I make sandwiches out of Hawaiian rolls.

I serve sandwiches and she eats them in pieces. Like she takes the sandwich apart and will then eat it one part at a time. A sandwich making bar I think is friendliest to you and most likely to be a hot with kids who can choose to have whatever parts they prefer either constructed as a sandwich or not.

Lydia only started eating lunchmeat last summer, she'll be 5 in a 1.5 months. She's been eating PJ&J since she was like 3. Neither of my babies eat lunchmeat or PB&J, they'll be 3 in a couple months.

eaglesfan700 · April 2014

They are 4.5 and 6 and just started eating sandwiches besides PB&J a couple months ago

Hes 3 and eat a sandwiches. Turkey or ham normally

notreallyirish · April 2014

DS1 is very picky and will eat PB (no jelly) or Nutella sandwiches. He will eat cheese sandwiches but usually takes them apart. He does not do lunch meat usually but might eat bologna if he's in the mood because he likes to fold it in half and bite a face in it.

Just PBJ and grilled cheese over here too

jesselayne8 · April 2014

My 10 month old and 2yr old both eat turkey/cheese and ham/cheese sandwiches.

bhuffman · April 2014

My boys only eat PBJ or grilled cheese. If they are somewhere that has turkey or ham sandwiches, I end up deconstructing it for them.

jnksmom · April 2014

My kids will only eat pb&j or a grilled cheese. DS will eat lunch meat turkey or ham but not on a sandwich.

catycate · April 2014

My kid will eat most kinds of sandwiches. His favorite is a pb&j

MomIn2013 · April 2014

Yep, DS will eat any sandwich I'm having (I usually cut mine into quarters and give him one, and it's usually a meat/cold cut and cheese of some sort on a bun).

zbeesma86 · April 2014

No. She used to. I wish she'd eat a PB & J!

Rink08 · April 2014

My older two do (7 and 3) but my 3 year old is not the neatest with them. He picks at the rolls and usually ends up taking it all apart while eating them.

fancynewbeesly · April 2014

Reese eats almond butter sandwiches. She also likes turkey sub sandwiches (just plain turkey) and ham sandwiches.

notkateanymore · April 2014

She eats the stuff inside of sandwiches, but not put together unless it's hot/grilled.

pitterpatter129 · April 2014

Mine will do grilled cheese. They like turkey and pepperjack too. We are a peanut free house, so no pbj anymore. DS1 would be in the hospital, but my nieces used to like pb and marshmallow cream for fun (ew!)

chardonnay24 · April 2014

He'll eat PBJ or a grilled cheese, but normally he will deconstruct a meat & cheese sandwich and eat all the components separately. I think he doesn't like them because it's hard for him to hold onto it without everything falling out.

cactus5 · April 2014

Mine eat pb & jelly only. We have been to parties that have made premade sandwiches and they just take them apart and eat everything separately. They do that for hamburgers too, not sure why.

irishgrl317 · April 2014

All 3 of my older kids eat sandwiches. I think the build your own option is a great idea.

bumpuser8448316 · April 2014

Just PB&J. He'll eat deli meat and cheese though so he usually just takes sandwiches apart if they're served at a party

Court0026 · April 2014

3 yo. Yes. All kinds. 5 yo. Nope.

vlagrl29 · April 2014

my kid is very anti meat and only eats pbj and grilled cheese sandwiches. she recently started eating hot dogs and i was totally thrilled. How sad is that?

AimeeL85 · April 2014

DS will eat turkey and cheese sandwiches and some other cold cuts randomly. He doesn't like peanut butter so I haven't bothered with jelly. His favorite sandwich is actually whole wheat bread with any flavor of Laughing Cow cheese spread on it. DD I haven't really given anything but a cream cheese on whole wheat so far.

mandymack · April 2014

I'm no help, neither of my kids eat much bread/gluten of any kind - they follow a real Paleo diet, it's weird. I love them though, sounds like a great plan!

Chapter79 · April 2014

It sounds like this could go either way

Mine will not touch deli meats- never has. She just won't. She will eat a PB sandwich, but no jelly. And she'll do grilled cheese.

spring_time · April 2014

My kid will eat PB&J or grilled cheese. It must be grape jelly. Heaven help the person who puts strawberry jelly on his sandwich.

Xtine22 · April 2014

Add mine to the PB&J and grilled cheese only sandwich list. She will not eat deli meat.

jf198400 · April 2014

My kids are 2 and 3 and will eat all kinds of sandwiches, and have since they were 1 yo. But I agree that make your own is easier to please everyone.

sophie206 · April 2014

My 3 year old eats meat/cheese, PBJ, tuna, egg salad, chicken salad, grilled cheese...but the crust is no-go.

alake · April 2014

My girl's typically take wraps for lunch.
On them they typically put:
meat (usually what is leftover: steak, chicken, roast beef, ham)
lettuce
Cheese
Spiros sauce (amazing greek sauce, made by a gentleman in my hometown)
On whole grain, or multigrain tortillas.
They aren't big on bread, and neither am I.
