Butterfly sandwiches are great fun to make with your grandchildren. Each person can create their own using peanut butter, jam, raisins, carrots, celery, grapes. The possibilities are endless and they’re so much fun to eat. While you’re making the sandwiches you can make up poems or songs about butterflies. I’ve included one that my grandchildren and I made up.

Butterfly
Butterfly, oh butterfly
Dancing across the sky.
Butterfly, oh butterfly.
First you are low then you are high.
