A colorful Thanksgiving vegetable platter made just for kids to snack on during the day! Super festive for Thanksgiving and very easy to toss together for a kids’ table!
We’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.
Place this out during the day to snack on while the feast is being cooked. Even though we made it for kids, don’t be surprised if you see adults digging in too. Who can resist that cuteness?
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.
