You can put in your own fillings. My favourite ingredients for a sandwich are cheese, tomato and cucumber.

Remember:

  1. Include a Title
  2. Make a list of Equipment/Ingredients
  3. Write the steps in order
  4. Number each step and take a new line for each step
  5. Draw a picture for each step at the end

Now follow your Instructions with an adult and make your sandwich. Did you get the steps in order?

Send us a picture of your sandwich and writing:
