Dinosaur Themed Party Food
When it comes to throwing a dinosaur themed party for your dinosaur-obsessed youngster, one of the many questions we get asked is how to customize the food to fit the dinosaur party theme. It’s not easy to find dinosaur-shaped sandwiches and treats at your local grocery store, but you don’t need to spend a fortune to make sure your dinosaur-themed party buffet cuts through “Mesozoic mustard.”
For example, dinosaur cookie cutters are inexpensive and can be used to create prehistoric animal shaped cookies. However, don’t limit yourself to just the sweet items on your buffet when it comes to using cookie cutters. We have used plastic and tin cookie cutters to create savory dinosaur-shaped sandwiches. With a cookie cutter, it’s simple and easy to make your own dinosaur-shaped sandwiches.
Use soft bread (we found that a quality white or whole wheat bread works best); and a number of simple fillings can be created, such as spreads: peanut butter, jelly, chicken or honey pasta, dinosaur sandwiches, and light bites simply by using the cookie cutter to cut the slices once it’s done. prepared the sandwich. A firm nudge on the sandwich with the cookie cutter is all it takes, but keep a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp knife handy in case you need to cut any chunks. This is a simple and straightforward way to decorate your dinosaur party plate.
Most of the dinosaurs known from the fossil record were vegetarians, so don’t forget to make plenty of salad for young dinosaur fans. They are used to seeing strange plants like cycads and tree ferns alongside dinosaurs in their picture books and you can use this to encourage them to eat their veggies. A mixed green salad containing delicacies like arugula and a little watercress can resemble the most exotic of ancient prehistoric plants. For added flavor, you can put a handful of washed dandelion leaves in the salad bowl. Dandelion leaves are edible, but don’t forget to wash them and use them sparingly as they are diuretic. The “jagged” edges of the leaves are a great prehistoric addition to any salad, we’ve even called them T. rex jaws, it’s fun to see young party guests trying to find a green T. rex jaw and put it on. your plate at mealtime.
Take a cocktail stick and colored paper, make a sandwich label using simple dinosaur vocabulary. A quick look at your child’s dinosaur book should provide you with many names for inspiration, for example we have created “Jurassic Jam” and “Hypsilophodon Honey” sandwiches in the past. The cocktail stick can be used to stick the label on the sandwich plate well, but don’t forget to point out the end that points upwards, we don’t want any of your little monsters to prick their fingers.
