Need food ideas for Kindergarten Christmas Party?
We're planning a holiday party for my son's class of 23 and I need some simple ideas on what to serve them. I don't want to load them up on just cookies and chips. I would like some easy finger foods that the kids would love. Thanks!!
Answers:
Always go easy and busy.
Cut out bread into shapes. (snowmen, trees, ornaments)
Cut veggies (carrots, red peppers, green peppers, cellery, etc into shapes. small circles, strips, moons etc.) and let the children creat their own pictures or designs on the bread that has cream cheese spread on it. (Pearnut butter works too but is banned in most schools due to allergies)
Then the children can eat their creations.
Celery with peanut butter. (You can put rasins on top too.)
Ham with cream cheese logs. (These things are SOOO good) Just spread cream cheese on a deli ham slice, then roll and cut into little finger sizes
Tunafish cracker sandwhiches
Any little finger sandwhiches. Little kids like baloney and cheese. Just cut them small. Like a regular sanwhich cut into quarters.
Little baby corns. They sell them in the asian food isle at grocery stores. The kids would love them. Just stick a toothpick in them.
Little baby carrots too.
USE CHRISTMAS COOKIE CUTTERS TO CUT OUT SIMPLE SANDWICHES ...APPLES AND CELERY STICKS SHAPED LIKE A WREATH WITH PEANUT BUTTER FOR DIPPING.....ALSO THIS SITE HAS THE CUTES IDEAS http://www.claus.com/kitchen/htmlkitchen...
kids are picky eaters...but here are a few fun things that are quick and easy that they might like:

1/4 cup chopped strawberries
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Place tortillas in single layer on large baking sheet; brush evenly with egg white. Sprinkle each with 3 Tbsp. of the cereal.

the old stand by....ants on a long....mix it up by using dried cranberries instead of the old raisins.
How about candy Sushi??
Well you could make some rice crispy treats then get some fruit roll ups lay them out flat then put some rice crispy treat stuff in the middle then put one half of a twissler in the middle and then roll it up.. Let the Rice crispy treat stuff cool and then cut into pieces (if you want) to make it look like sushi.
And buy red and green fruit roll ups..
and of course some celery with peanut butter..
Carrots and ranch dressing
Chex mix
Let them decorate their own cookie and then eat it
cheese cubes or sting cheese
rice crispie treats- these are lower in sugar even diabetic children do well with
There are quite a few nice finger food ideas on this website: http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk...
Ants on a Log (celery sticks filled w/ peanut butter and topped w/ raisins)
Fruit Skewers (2-3 chunks of fruit on a toothpick)
You coudl have them decorate their own cookie... have plain sugar cookies brought in, and let the kids spread icing and put sprinkles o it... they can either bring it home or eat it then.
I used to make monkey bread for my daughter's class. They loved it! All you do is take can biscuits and cut them into 4 equal pieces. Deep fry them until golden brown. then dip them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Very easy.
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut with christmas cookie cutters (no crusts!) tortilla rollups with Ham and Pickle
how about crackers and cheese? You could always use a christmas cookie cutter on the cheese.
Fruit Salad
Chex mix
