11 - 1 red bell pepper
12 - 1 yellow bell pepper
13 - 1 cup baby carrots
# Directions:
01 - Cut bread slices into rectangles for train cars and one larger shape for the engine using cookie cutters or a knife. Create assorted sandwiches by spreading cream cheese with cucumber, peanut butter with jam, cheddar with turkey or ham, or chosen fillings. Assemble and gently press sandwiches together.
02 - Place celery stalks parallel on a large serving board to form rails. Lay pretzel sticks evenly across the celery to create cross-ties.
03 - Set sandwich rectangles atop the celery tracks as train cars. Attach cucumber rounds and cherry tomato halves as wheels using a small amount of cream cheese if necessary. Decorate the engine with slices of red and yellow bell peppers to add detail and windows.
04 - Surround the train with baby carrots, extra cucumber slices, and additional vegetables for snacking and visual appeal.
05 - Present immediately, allowing children to play by moving the train cars along the tracks before enjoying the meal.
