For a long time I had a hard time getting my eldest boy to eat sandwiches. He was too young to handle loose food in a container with a spoon by himself so sometimes I just needed something  that he could eat with his hands. I tried every imaginative filling I could but it seems he was using sandwiches for his power struggles and he won out in the end.

If only I’d had a Lunch Punch! These great sandwich cutters cut off crusts and make the sandwich into a novel shape. The first release is the puzzle shaper which turns the sandwich into two pieces of a jigsaw that fit together neatly. I love this idea for a party – have a look at the sandwich platter below! It’s a perfect party gimmick. The Match and Munch set of cutters will allow you to make sandwich puzzles for all occasions.

Designed by a Melbourne mum of three young boys, there will be a second set available later this month called Critter Cutters. In the meantime, make sure you get the puzzle set and watch the kids clamour for a sandwich.

The set of four comes to you – for $12.95 plus shipping – in a lovely recycled box with instructions on how to create sandwich magic from Cool Things.
