Begin by preheating your toaster or toaster oven to a medium setting. Lightly toast slices of whole-grain or gluten-free bread for about 3-5 minutes until they turn golden brown and crisp.

Once the toast is ready, spread a generous layer of your chosen toppings, such as peanut butter, almond butter, or cream cheese, evenly across each slice.

Select vibrant fruits like bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, and slice them into various shapes. Use banana slices for ears and blueberries for eyes. Arrange them on top of the spread to form animal features.

Enhance your animals with details using toppings like raisins, olives, or cheese. Cut cheese into fun shapes to create noses or whiskers.

Present the Creative Animal Toasts on a colorful plate, encouraging children to admire their creations and customize further with additional toppings.
