Disney Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur released today! It’s an adorable animated movie about the friendship between a boy and an Apatosaurus named Arlo. My kids cannot wait to see it!
It looks like a super cute and fun little movie to go see as a family over the Thanksgiving holiday. Then, after you all watch the movie, come back and make this super healthy snack tray! Playing with your food is totally allowed – especially if you are making leafy greens that Apatosaurus’ like Arlo would love.
What You’ll Need:
– Spinach Tortilla (Burrito Size)
– Fresh Express Spring Salad Mix
– Celery
– Cherry Tomato
– Canned Black Beans
– Cream Cheese
– Plain Hummus
– Blue Food Coloring
– Piping or Sandwich Bags
Assembly:
– Cut the spinach tortilla as shown to form the dinosaur’s head and neck.
– Place the dino on your serving tray.
– Pipe the mouth and nostril using plain hummus
– Pipe the whites of the eyes using softened cream cheese
– Cut a black bean in half. This will be your dino’s pupils.
– Tint some cream cheese blue and pipe a ring around the black bean pupils.
– Cut a cherry tomato in half and core it, removing the seeds. This will form your bug.
– Pipe blue cream cheese onto one half of the cherry bug as shown and place on your dino’s nose.
– Cut the other half of the cherry tomato to form the red bug’s head.
– The red bug’s legs are made from black bean skin.
– Once your dino and bug have been assembled it’s time for the greenery.
– Take a knife and pull a few of the celery rib strings out. They will curl up when you do.
– Place your leafy celery stalks, salad mixture and celery strings on the bottom of your tray.
– Voila!
Ooooh, I love that snack tray! It came out awesome 🙂
That snack tray really did come out perfectly. Maybe it will get the kiddos to like eating those veggies–just like the friendly dinosaur (who even if he were still around would be a vegetarian and pretty laid back).
What a cute idea! I just saw this movie with my kiddos, and my firstborn really liked it.
What a fabulous way to tie into the movie. This is seriously cute and quite healthy!
What a great idea. I bet it tastes yummy, too. We still haven’t seen the movie.
It is a sweet movie. Not epic but cute for sure.
This looks so great, my little boy would love it! We would love to see the film, I am not sure if it is out in the UK yet.
