# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Cut bread slices into rectangular shapes for train cars and one larger shape for the engine using cookie cutters or a knife. Assemble sandwiches by spreading cream cheese with cucumber, peanut butter with jam, cheddar with turkey or ham, or desired fillings, then gently press together.
02 - Lay celery stalks parallel on a large platter to form rails and place pretzel sticks across them at intervals as cross-ties.
03 - Position sandwich rectangles atop the celery stalks to represent train cars. Attach cucumber rounds and cherry tomato halves as wheels using a dab of cream cheese if needed. Decorate the engine with sliced red and yellow bell peppers for details and windows.
04 - Arrange baby carrots, extra cucumber slices, and additional vegetables around the board for snacking and colorful presentation.
05 - Present immediately, encouraging children to move the train cars along the tracks prior to eating.
