The sandwiches feature toppings arranged to look like landscapes and animals in the hopes of luring youngsters to eat nutritious food on a daily basis. Kelsey Nixon put together these adorable sandwich designs to outsmart young kids into eating their [fruits and veggies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-food). The sandwiches feature an array of healthy ingredients such as turkey, carrots, cheese, zucchini, strawberries and wholegrain bread that can look unappetizing to a child if dressed like a conventional sandwich. To overcome this, Nixon arranges the foods to look like a lion's mane with the sandwich face in the middle and cheese and carrot slices making the mane or a peanut butter and banana monkey face sandwich. This way, kids are drawn to the aesthetic of the food and are more likely to consume it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Lunch Art:** There is an opportunity for companies to create lunch art designs in packaging and marketing strategies to appeal to parents who want their children to eat healthier food. - **Creative Food Designs:** Developing new, creative ways of presenting food can lead to new markets and consumers who are seeking an alternative to conventional food presentations. - **Healthy Eating for Kids:** Companies can develop products and programming that cater to encouraging healthy eating habits in children. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Packaging:** Innovative packaging design and utilizing creative marketing could cater to health-conscious parents who are interested in aesthetically pleasing and healthy food options for their children. - **School Lunch Programs:** Opportunities to create a new generation of creative, healthy, and exciting meals in school lunch programs to cater to health-conscious parents who prioritize well-balanced nutrition. - **Children's Culinary Education:** Creating programs or kits for children to learn how to make creative and healthy food designs can lead to a new market for culinary education for children who want to learn healthy and fun meal preparation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Honest Mealtime Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guaranteed-to-be-eaten-by-kids.md) - [Kid-Friendly Recipe Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-friendly-recipe.md) - [Creativity-Focused Pizza Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterpiecezas.md) - [Kid-Focused Meal Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-box.md) - [Kid-Powered Imagination Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-vs-ki.md) - [Snackable Back-to-School Lunches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchers.md) - [Cheeky Food-Made Beauty Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spoof-beauty-range.md) - [Veggie-First Children's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-gourmets.md) - [Hidden Veggie Meal Boosters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-wins.md)
