The Healthiest Donut Shop In Town

My next door neighbor gave me this fun idea because of an experience she had the other day with her 3 year old named Crew. Crew was asking for a donut. Rather than saying no, she simply cut his sandwich into the shape of a donut. She said the funny thing was, he never said anything about it actually being a sandwich. He just ate it, satisfied that his mom gave him a “donut”! Letter-S, for sandwiches today, is what we are calling, The Donut Sandwich!
While my kids are obviously too old to think a sandwich is a donut, they actually really liked this idea! In fact, both Erica and TJ made their own for lunch yesterday.

I have a donut cutter (a circle cookie cutter, with another circle in the middle to cut the dough for donuts. My neighbor however, just used two circle shaped things she had in our cupboard to make these.
Haha, that is awesome! Kids love food prepared in “cool” ways.
Very cute! My kids would totally love this idea!! Thanks, Amy!
My kids will eat almost anything if it has sprinkles in it! Cute idea!
Love the idea!
AMAZING idea……going to try it out! Hope it works!
Very creative that idea is great. I think many of kids would really like this It looks delicious. mouth watering
Once the kids are old enough to find out the difference and know they have been cheated, what will happen?
They know it’s a sandwich. It’s just a fun way to make a sandwich.
That is a really cute idea. But, I am betting my kids would not want to eat the doughnut hole part and so I would end up eating all the extras!

Pickle has donuts today too! His are not nearly as cute as yours though, no sprinkles 🙂
Great idea Amy! Quick question? Are those dye-free sprinkles?!? If so, will you share the brand? The color is great!!!!
No Katie, I have never heard of dye free sprinkles!! I’ll start looking for them though and let you know if I find some good ones 🙂

How do you make the blue on the top?
