Top each piece of bread with a lettuce leaf and piece of bologna. For carrot-top sandwich, place two pickle slices on bologna for eyes. Cut one olive in half widthwise; place bottom half on face for nose. Cut remaining half into quarters. Place a quarter on each pickle slice (discard remaining quarter pieces).

Cut tomato in half from top to bottom (save one half for another use). Cut remaining tomato half into a rounded triangle for mouth; place on sandwich. Cut one cucumber slice in half; arrange on sandwich for ears. Add shredded carrot for hair. Cut cheese into four strips. Place two strips over eyes for eyebrows; set remaining cheese strips aside.

Add red pepper slices for ears, remaining pickle slice for nose and reserved cheese strips for eyebrows. For mouth, cut remaining cucumber slice in half; place cut sides together at a right angle. Using a vegetable peeler, peel thin strips from celery; sprinkle on top for hair.
