Today my parents took me, Mr 3 and 2 of his cousins Mr 5 and Mr 16 to see Erths Dinosaur Zoo. So of course Mr 3 and Mr 5 had to come back to my place to have a dinosaur themed lunch after it.
Remember, stegosaurs were herbivores so if you can't fill them with meat - only vegetables.
We always make extra vege mash when we do these because it is a great thing to have in your fridge to add as an extra to any meal.
