Dinosaur Snack Ideas + Dinosaur Movie Night

My kids absolutely LOVE when I make up fun themed snacks for them to enjoy during our thematic units. My kids are not picky kids, but if you want to guarantee that they are going to eat every last bite on their plate, then turn their food into something fun.

Dinosaur Themed Food Ideas & Family Movie Night

These are some of the foods we ate throughout our Dinosaur Preschool theme.  These would be perfect foods to eat for your family movie night as well. I share what we ate for ours at the end of this post. 

Dinosaur Themed Food and Snack Ideas for Kids

I love opening the fridge and pantry and seeing what foods I have on hand that I can use to turn into themed food for the kids. These ideas are a product of that. 

Wafflesaurus 1

This wafflesaurus was made with waffles, grapes, clementines, marshmallows, and a candy eye. 

Wafflesaurus 2

This wafflesaurus was made with waffles, a banana, and a candy eye. 

Dinosaur Quesadilla & Dino Bones

Our dinosaur cookie cutters came in handy many times throughout the unit. These Dino Quesadillas and pretzel and marshmallow dinosaur bones made for a yummy lunch. 

Dinosaur Themed Movie Night Foods & Decorations

At the end of our Dinosaur Themed, we had a Dinosaur Themed Family Movie Night complete with food and decorations. This one was exceptionally fun for me to put together and we loved ending our unit with this fun themed night. You can read my post all about the "rules" I love to follow when putting together Family movie nights to help you put together your very own. 

Dino Movie Night Food

We dined on Dino Shaped Egg Salad Sandwiches as our main course for the evening and dinosaur shaped homemade spinach chips and salsa. 

We couldn’t forget to satisfy the sweet tooth and this pudding and crushed oreo dinosaur “dirt” hit the spot. Top it off with some fun dinosaur figurines and you have the perfect sweet treat.

And we let our imaginations take off with these fun snacks: Dinosaur toenails (Bugels), Dinosaur Eggs (grapes), Dinosaur bones (pretzels and marshmallows) and Dinosaur Spikes (watermelon).

Dino Movie Night Decorations

We used a lot of the things we had already been using or the kids created as part of our Dinosaur Preschool theme as decorations. I also chose the green and blue paper goods theme to tie it all together. 

Dino Movie Night Activities

Since we completed so many wonderful activities throughout our entire Dinosaur unit, the only thing we did was watch besides dining on the yummy food, was watch a Dinosaur themed movie. 

We love the movie night tradition after a unit of study and look forward to many more. You can see more dinosaur movie night ideas here.
