1 can/289g
mandarin orange
segments
Make sure you get some help from an adult
as this recipe needs a sharp knife to
make.
Method
1.
Slice mango either side of stone. Hold each slice,
flesh side up.
Using a small
knife, cut a criss-cross pattern into the flesh,
down to the
skin. Be careful not to pierce
the skin.
Turn each slice inside out so the
squares stand out.
2. Place on a large plate, this is
the dinosaur body.
3. Peel the banana and place it next
to the mango to make a tail.
4. Cut a thick slice of apple and use a knife to
shape it into a dinosaur
head.
5.
Coat the apple and banana with the lemon juice,
this will stop it going brown.
6. Cut the cherries or grapes in half and
place on the head for eyes.
7. Use the
mandarin segments to add spikes along the body and
tail.
8. Chill in
the fridge until ready to
serve.
