Recipe: Dinosaur Themed Foods

I am doing a week long theme of Dinosaurs & need several recipe ideas, dinners & lunches, I thought I'd share ideas I've found.

*Cold chicken drumsticks
*French fries and catsup
*Vegetable sticks and fresh fruit
DINO CAKE

Sheet cake frosted with brown chocolate icing. Decorate by making a volcano, plastic trees and dino's. Crumbled Oreo for dirt, blue frosting for water.

DINO BONE SUB

1 hot dog bun, split 
1 Tbsp. MIRACLE WHIP Dressing 
1 lettuce leaf 
1 slice OSCAR MAYER Bologna 
1 KRAFT STRING-UMS String Cheese 

Spread cut sides of bun with dressing; top with lettuce. 

Roll bologna around string cheese. Place in bun. 

Round out the meal: 
Serve with cut-up raw vegetables and a piece of your favorite fresh fruit. 

Great Substitute:

BAGEL STEGOSAURUS 
Makes 4

Need- bagel, cream cheese, or peanut butter, or jam, sliced strawberries, very thin long slices of carrot.

Slice a bagel in half, then cut the pieces in half again so you have 4 half circles. (Adult)

Give each child a bagel part, to be the stegosuarus's body. Place on the plates so it is like an upside down U.

Let the children use plastic knives to spread peanut butter, or cream cheese, or jam all over the bagel. 

Arrange the strawberry slices on top of the stegosaurus's back to look like his plates. Arrange a carrot slice on one side to be the neck. Arrange a strawberry on the carrot to be the head. Eat!
Remember the Dino shaped chicken nuggets!
PTERODACTYL CHICKEN WINGS

Wash wings and dry. Hold onto wing tips and spread them so they look like they're flying. Dip Wings in barbecue sauce and place on foil lined baking sheet. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees F. Turn wings carefully and bake for another 15-20 minutes. 

Serve with veggies, fruit, corn, mac 'n cheese, etc. 
STEGO SANDWICH - this sounds cute!

Mix peanut butter and pancake syrup together in a bowl. Spread mixture onto two slices of sandwich bread. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally, which will give you two triangle shaped pieces. Each student will need one triangle portion of the sandwich. 

Turn your sandwich with one point facing the top of your plate. Add Doritos along the diagonal sides of the sandwich. (Place the chips in between the slices of bread) 

Cut a banana in half then again lengthwise to make the head/neck of the stegosaurus. Position the banana the lower end of the diagonal sides. Add one raisin for the eye. End result is a side view of a stegosaurus. 
DINO SHAPES

Cut out dino shape sandwiches, and cookies. Or use a dog bone treat cookie cutter. 
EARTH IN A CUP

chocolate cookie crumbs
chocolate pudding
Gummi worms
rock candy "dino eggs" 
clear plastic cups

Spoon a layer of pudding into clear plastic cups. 

Add a few gummi worms and then a layer of cookie crumbs. 

Repeat this process and top with some worms and dinosaur eggs.

We did this one in school, can also use a toothpick!

Your children can act as paleontologists. Give each child on chocolate chip cookie, a hard one will work better. 

Also give each child a popscicle stick to scrape out the "bones", the chocolate chips, like if a paleontologist were scraping bones out of the dirt. They can eat the cookie when they are done. 
PUNCH

Any Red punch can be Lava Juice.
