Ideas for party food for 5yr olds birthday? Thanks?
Answers:
A fruit and vegetable platter with a sweet dip is always good. You also can't have a child's party without cake and ice cream. If one child is or several children are lactose intolerant or grow up not consuming dairy the local health food store sells soy-based frozen desserts. Also, a root beer or ginger ale punch is good for refreshment.
jelly with harribo rings and snakes in and stuff and who ever get the ring or somthing gets a prize
'Worms playing in the mud'...lol
Put chocolate pudding into the larger Dixie Cups,then add crushed Oreos and gummi worms.They'll be a big hit!
Have fun;)
I think the park would be good. They can play on the playground and run around. it will probably be easier to keep track of them. Good luck
Doughnuts, Jelly, cake and Custard, Ice-cream, Cocktail sausages, crisps, chocolates.....
God i miss being 5 again!
xx
keep it simple....first ask the parents if any of the kids have food allergies....you can google up some recipies for kids...and keep the party size to the age of the child...2 hours max....no parents....and let the kids just play...simple games...no need to go broke on a birthday party ...
cocktail sausages & home cut chips
Just lots of bite sized food items - mini pizzas, mini sausages, little cubes of cheese and pineapple and/or grapes, crisps, mini cakes.
Anything they won't make too much mess with!!
You can't go wrong with pizza.
Hi Kids love pinwheel sandwiches. 1st Flatten Slices of bread with a rolling pin, then add a filling & roll it up. They should look like little swiss rolls... For Magic Wands/ Dance Batans whatever your preferences. Dip breadsticks in some icing, then hundreds & thousands.
decorate your own fairy cake! provide icing, sweets, hundreds and thousands etc,
they can decorate their plates so they know which is theirs, then ice the cake, leave it to set while they play games and then have it with their tea!
might like to get them to bring a pinny or one of dad's old shirts!!!
good luck!!
Avoid hot dogs and try to serve something somewhat healthy including drinks because sometimes kids are getting too many calories and a lot of them are coming from the sugared up juices they drink
pizza...cheap, easy, and the kids love it
Make everything bite sized - and make sure you can clear up easily afterwards!
I agree about the pinwheel sandwiches - my children love ham and beef ones (though not together!)
Flatten the bread with a rolling pin. Butter and add any sandwich filling, then roll up as tight as you can, otherwise they will collapse! I have found the easiest way to do this is by using cling film to keep the rolling very tight. Put the 'batons' in the fridge for about an hour before you cut them up.
For a drink, serve Grog (very complicated, this - mix orange juice, apple juice and lemonade together to make fizzy grog and just leave out the lemonade to make ordinary grog!!!) - children do not realise they are drinking fruit juice if you call it grog!!!
Crisps
chessboard sandwiches - where you make sarnies but use brown and white bread - brown bread, then filling then white bread. Then cut the sandwiches into small squares (don't forget to remove the crusts!) and put the sarnies onto a plate so they go brown - white - brown - white, like a chessboard!
Tuna tugs - mix tuna with mayo until smooth. Cut small bridge rolls in half and put a couple of spoonfuls of the tuna onto each. If you want to be artistic, cut a carrot and celery into 1cm and 2cm 'chunks' to use as funnels!!!
marmite bites - you need 215g pack frozen puff pastry - thawed! - and roll out till it is a rectangle around 25x30cm. Mix together 1/2 tsp with 1 tbs marmite. Spread it over the pastry all the way to the edge. roll up along the shorter edge, like a swiss roll, with the join underneath. Chill for 20 minutes. Cut into 5mm slices, place onto baking sheets and make a slice from middle to edge. cook in the oven 200 degrees centigrade for 10 minutes until golden.
Eat hot or cold.
Chocolate nuggets - heat 50g margarine, 175g chocolate, 2 tbs honey until melted. stir in 250g crushed digestive biscuits. Mix thoroughly. Turn into greased, lined shallow 18cm square cake tin and smooth. Mark into squares with a sharp knife. Put a smartie in the centre of each square. Leave to set, then cut into the squares.
egg & bacon tartlets
roll out 125g shortcrust pastry thinly. Use to line 12 x 7.5cm patty tins (smaller if you have them, just make sure they are well greased and the pastry is very thin!) Chill for 15 minutes. in its own fat, fry 75g derinded and chopped streaky bacon until it is golden brown. Beat an egg with 5tbs milk, beat in 25g cheddar cheese, stir in the bacon and season to taste. Divide into the pastry cases. Bake in a preheated moderate oven (200 degrees centigrade) for 15-20 minutes, until set and golden.
I hope you now have lots of ideas for food!
Have a good party - and get the wine ready for when it is all over - you will need it, probably intravenously! There is the voice of experience! I did it once and swore never again would I have a party at home - or cater for one! And I have not!!!
pass the parcel. it is a fun game, similar to musical chairs. you wrap up a small novelty gift in several layers of wrapping paper. the children pass the gift around and when the music stops, who ever is holding it, gets to remove a layer. you do this until it is completely unwrapped and then the last person to unwrap gets the gift. i just played this at my 7 year olds birthday party, and it was a big hit. it was the easiest way to quit 25 kids at once. they were all so excited and focused on getting the gift.
