Start by laying a tortilla flat and then add a layer of pepperoni slices. The bigger pepperoni slices work best for these roll-ups. Next, place a mozzarella cheese stick in the middle and roll it up. Serve it with pizza sauce, blueberries, mandarin orange slices, sliced cucumbers, and yogurt-covered pretzels.

Make a sandwich as you normally would, then gently press the sandwich with the palm of your hand, flattening it out a bit. Use mini cookie cutters to cut the sandwiches into fun, bite-size shapes. Serve them with cream cheese, celery sticks, sliced kiwi and strawberries, and mini graham cracker bunnies.

Place shredded cheese between two tortillas and lightly toast it in a skillet on both sides. Cut it diagonally into four pieces. Serve it with salsa or guacamole, sliced sweet peppers, grapes, and tortilla chips.

Spread a layer of cream cheese on the inside of the tortilla. Add sliced deli meat to one side and then fold it together like a taco. The cream cheese will help hold the taco together. Serve it with ranch dressing, mandarin orange slices, grapes, pretzels, and celery sticks.

Peel and slice two hard-boiled eggs and serve them with ranch dressing, cucumber slices, mandarin orange slices, cheese cubes, and mini graham cracker bunnies.
