Eat sandwich
Before the first bite, bread, butter, topping and maybe cucumber have to be chosen and stacked in order. The visual support below shows every choice as its own square, so the sandwich gets built one step at a time.

About this visual support
A sandwich looks simple from an adult angle but it hides a row of small, fast decisions: which slice of bread, butter or no butter, cheese or ham, perhaps cucumber and tomato. When all the choices sit in the head at the same time, a child can easily end up standing with the knife in hand and not moving on.
A row of pictures showing take the bread, spread the butter, add the topping, add a vegetable, eat lets one decision arrive at a time. A child can point to a topping on the card instead of answering a spoken question, which helps when language is slow and hunger is fast.
One concrete tip: keep a small tray or board where the toppings are lined up in the same order as the pictures. The table becomes a mirror of the sequence and the hands find the next step on their own. If you want the sandwich as a recurring snack with a reminder, the whole routine fits into Routined, with a 14-day trial before any subscription.
