Narnia birthday party for a 2+a 4 year old, ideas,Turkish delight substitute?
We're having a birthday party for our 2 and 4 year olds in ca 10 days. The theme is Narnia. I'm looking for more simple and inexpensive ideas for games, decoration,recipes etc. We like things natural. I also wanted to make some turkish delight but found it was loaded with sugar.Any idea for a healthy sustitute? Also a creative cake decoration idea with not too much work and sugar? drinks with little or no white sugar that's not too expensive eather?
Answers:
Aplets & Cotlets. They are basically apricots and apples that have been stewed, gelled and cut into cubes and rolled in a very fine layer of powdered sugar. They are basically dried fruit. They are soooooo yummy. My dad, who is a diabetic can have them - so must be fairly nutritional. They are sold in the fine boxed candy section of stores.
You could substitute the turkish delight for cubes of sugar free jelly. How about letting them have some sugary treats just for the day - it is their Birthday?
Keeping things natural is in direct opposition to a "FANTASY" party. Instead of looking for parents to praise you for your ingenuity; let your child be the center of attention. Unless all of the children have your same eating habits you have to provide them with sweeties. It won't kill your kid if you use sugar substitutes at the very least . UGH!
My kids eat ALL types of vegetables and thus they are permitted to eat sweeties every once in awhile and especially on their birthdays.
Keep your 10 points its too bitter for me.
eww
