I am having my little boys first birthday party ideas on finger food?!
Answers: I am having my little boys first birthday party this weekend and most of the kids there will be between 5 and 8 years old . I am looking for some ideas for making some little decorative finger foods that would appeal to that age group.I have found snail sandwhiches which are sandw that look like snails but an you think of any other cute ideas . Also so so good outdoor games to play me and my older kids are making pinata's .
Go to your local supermarket and check the frozen food section. They have frozen foods such as:
Chicken Nuggets cut into fun shapes
Pigs in a blacket
Mini Bagel Pizza's
Mozzerella Sticks
Mini Hamburgers
Then stop over at the bakery for Mini Cupcakes iced in different colors
Games for the young ones:
Set up a few games like you would see at a carnival.
1. Have a ring toss.
2. Ball Toss, they have to get a ball in a cup or small pail
3. Ball Kick, see who kicks the farthest.
Give prizes to the winners, but have smaller prizes for all the kids just for participating.
Everything needed for these games can be found in your local dollar store.
Girl ... anything you serve to a one-year-old will be finger food. I'd just let 'em eat cake and have plenty of paper towels. And, do you really want a bunch of kids that have not fully developed their coordination skills wielding a stick blindfolded. If you're doing all this for the kids, forget the details. Just batten down the hatches and let them loose. If you are doing it to impress the mommies, those snail sandwiches sound pretty darn adorable.
Well my kids love cheese quesadillas..just put the cheese in between two tortillas and pop in the overn for a few minutes, then slice in triangles.
Also fruit cut up in chunks is always good for kids..you can take a watermelon and make a basket out of it and fill with the watermelon and cantelope and grapes...this is good for spring!
Also I would try chips and dips, baby carrots, ants on a log....there is so many fun finger foods you could do!
i make ham and cheese sushi rolls its super cute you use potato bread flaten it put a little bit of mayo and a drop of mustard put the ham and cheese roll it up and put tooth picks on it it makes about 5 per slice kids like it adults love it !!!! Also chicken nuggets are great, cheese balls,pigs ina blanket,
Make sandwiches cut into shapes from cookie cutters. Although this will make a lot of waste. Do ham/turkey/cheese. Peanut butter and jelly also.
I've come to realize that kids love "dip" ranch, onion, cheese dip too. Ritz crackers, or crackers in shapes (they make them)
Put smokies ina small crockpot and add a little water and about 3/4 cup brown sugar, have toothpicks ready so the little ones can get them themselves.
Make some "gift bags" but use an ice cream cone dipping the rim in melted chocolate and chill in fridge. Before giving them out put small candies like pixie sticks, smarties, tootsie rolls, etc..in them. Or let them decorate their own, have little dots and small edible candies and glue them on with icing.
As for outside games, have a treasure hunt. Place gifts around the outside if there is room and have little toys as the treasure.
Good luck and have tons of fun!!
Ok.. This is DELICIOUS!
Ingredients:
Shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese
Any lunch meats of your choice
Round tortilla chips
Microwave
How:
Place round tortilla chips on a tray/ plate ( microwaveable). Shread lunch meat into sizes that will fit on each chip. Place on the chips. Then, just thourly spread the chesse all over the plate. Place in the microwave long enough for the cheese to melt! Taa-daa! Hope you like, its dee---liss---ouussss!!!
Little smokies wrapped in biscuit with cheese= pigs in a blanket. Kids love them. Chips, dips, junk, kids love that too. don't do things kids can get their hands on and make dirty for the other people, something less messy and germ spreading is best.
Outside games: pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, my mind just went blank...try not to be too overbearing with the game playing. kids do like to win prizes though. Pinatas are awesome too!!
hope it's fun
Hey, what's the matter with the old fashioned basics, like pin the tail on the donkey, blind man's bluff, drop the clothespin into the milk bottle, bobbing for apples, musical chairs, ice cream (or messier and funner still, pudding) eating contest, hoop tosses (tossing balls through hoops that are set at different distances for different points), or ring toss, dad performing some magic tricks (coins out of the ears still works-if you give the kid the coins), balloon animals, Cup cake decorating contest.There are so many.
As long as you have prizes that the kids want, and every kid wins at least a couple different prizes, you are set.
Save the major party efforts for when your own child is old enough to enjoy them, it is all about the birthday boy, after all.
You can make chicken mince's cutlets sorta sumthing......
Chicken mince + spices+parsley
Shape it into fingers and deep fry them , really mouth watering dish
You can decorate them in a good way, like that of a face.
finger foods as hairs......
lettuce as cap,
any sauce kinda as face,
olives as eyes,
small chopped pieces as nose and a piece of cherry tomato as mouth!
Do u want the recipe of a sauce which goes well with this?
Here it goes.......
Boiled chickpeas + lemon juice + Tahinah(sesame seeds paste)+ olive oil.blend it!
I stick little pretzel sticks into cubes of cheese for my grandkids ... Also, most kids that age love to dip veggies, so have a veggie platter, and a fruit platter .... Remember those caramel dips you can get in the Fall, to dip apples into? You can still find them in the produce department, so you could cut up apples to dip into it, and also dip Teddy Grahams..... You can also heat a can of chocolate frosting (thin it a little with some milk) to dip fruit, cookies into..... Even something as simple as peanut butter & jelly sandwiches look cute, if you cut them out with a cookie cutter!
