Shaun the Sheep is beloved around the world, and now he’s hitting the big screen here in America in his first feature film! Aardman is the studio behind popular British animations Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run and more, and Shaun the Sheep has become a standout hit.
His lovable face and charming attitude are easily relatable and make for a fun way to serve up healthy snacks. Fluffy cauliflower with grape faces look like a flock of sheep, while pretzels make great fences. A fun hummus dip is made to look like the farm’s sheepdog, Bitzer.
Serving fresh, delicious snacks with fun and flair is a great way to get your kids eating healthy!
