If you are a parent who has trouble getting their kids to eat their veggies, check out this Dinosaur Nugget Island with a Ranch Dip Pond. My kids, sister, and I made this together, and it was loads of fun to make. I think even for adults food like this tastes better, lol. It sure was fun to make and certainly fun to eat with the kids.
I’m always looking for ways to get my kids to eat more veggies, and if I am being honest, it wouldn’t hurt me to eat more veggies too. Which is why this Dinosaur Nugget Island with a Ranch Dip Pond worked for all of us—fun and delicious! As you can see in the above image, we used tons of different kinds of veggies—celery, cucumbers, bell peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, and more.
There isn’t any certain way to create this fun plate of veggies; all you need is a love of creativity, veggies, and Tyson’s Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets. Of course, the dipping sauce is an added perk. We made our own ranch dip, but you could even opt for the package.
Dinosaur Nugget Island with a Ranch Dip Pond
When making your own veggie forest, there are tricks to keeping your trees, flowers, and bushes standing up straight. The easiest way that I found was to use large slices of carrot, celery, or cucumber and secure with toothpicks or cut a hole large enough for the stem of your tree or flower. Also, I found that popping out the stem of a mushroom makes room for an excellent base to hold up the broccoli trees and pepper palm trees. What other tricks would you use?
We wanted to make a delicious dip for all those yummy veggies because, let’s face it, kids need a little motivation to polish off their veggies. We decided on a ranch dip; everyone loves ranch. Instead of buying any old dip from the store, we decided to make homemade.
This is more of an inspiration post than a recipe post; let your imagination run wild and have fun eating those veggies!
