Pin ItWe’re making veggies fun for kids this Thanksgiving in the shape of a turkey! Using fresh vegetables and dip we were able to make the cutest vegetable platter for kids.

How to Make a Thanksgiving Vegetable Platter for Kids
Ingredients
Yellow Bell Peppers
Red Bell Peppers
Orange Bell Peppers
Mini Carrots
Mushrooms
Green Leaf Lettuce
Dip – ranch or blue cheese
Directions
Wash and slice the bell peppers long ways and remove the seeds.
Set a small, shallow bowl in the center, at the bottom of a round platter.
On the platter, place the lettuce down first. Only place halfway around the platter. It’s okay to overlap the edges of the lettuce over the platter.
Next, layer red bell peppers over the green lettuce, halfway around the platter.
Then, place small baby carrots overlapping the red peppers.
Overlap the yellow bell peppers halfway over the baby carrots.
Repeat with the yellow and orange peppers.
Fill the bowl with a dip. We like ranch or blue cheese.
Slice one mushroom for the feet of the turkey and use one whole mushroom for the head.
Cut a small slice of red pepper and yellow pepper for the beak and snoods.
You can get creative for the eyes, but we used two tiny chocolate chip morsels.

Cool! I love it.
I use carrots and chips instead of bell peppers.
Original way to serve vegetables. I’ll make a note of it. I think it will come in handy for the holidays.
