The crust of the bread is the best part as far as we are concerned, but for some reason, there are a lot of kids who don't like crust on their bread. Is it the taste, the color or is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich just more fun without a crust? While philosophers ponder the question, you'll probably be cutting the crust of the sandwiches for your kids or for yourself, since there are plenty of adults who like to eat their sandwiches in this slightly nostalgic way.

Put down that knife and check out the Crust Cutter. The stainless steel cutter measures 4"x4" and is designed to remove all crusts with one swift motion. It also folds flat, for easy storage. The only downside is that once you've made it easy to remove the crust from the bread, you might never get Junior to actually give them a try. At least he'll be able to cut the crusts of his own sandwiches. Price: $3.95.

When I was little and made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day to take in my lunch, I hated it when peanut butter would get in to the jar with the jam, or vice versa. I also didn't want to have to wipe off or wash the knife halfway through making my sandwich because it seemed inefficient and, to maximize my sleeping time, I wanted a fast sandwich. As a result, I tried to use the exact amount of peanut butter or jelly, so as to have none left on the knife. At 8 years old, I thought this seemed pretty clever, but  having one of these dual-sided peanut butter and jelly spreaders would have solved my problems completely. The color-coded sides enable you to dip to your heart's content without mixing the contents of the jars. They're $11.99 and, to justify the expense on the silicone kitchen tool, you can use them for anything from buttering toast to spreading frosting on cupcakes.
