# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Cut bread slices into rectangles for train cars and one larger shape for the engine using cookie cutters or a knife.
02 - Spread cream cheese with cucumber, peanut butter with jam, or layer cheddar with turkey or ham. Combine and press sandwiches gently.
03 - Lay celery stalks in parallel lines on a large platter to form rails, then position pretzel sticks across at intervals to act as cross-ties.
04 - Position sandwich rectangles atop the celery rails as train cars. Attach cucumber rounds and cherry tomato halves as wheels using small dabs of cream cheese if necessary. Decorate the engine with slices of red and yellow bell peppers.
05 - Arrange baby carrots, extra cucumber slices, and additional vegetables around the board for snacking and visual appeal.
06 - Present immediately and encourage children to move the train cars along the tracks before eating.
