Food ideas for babies party

[Larski]

Hiya,

My little angel will soon turn 1 :yelclap: so I am having an afternoon tea party to celebrate.

I'm fine with ideas for the adults, but what sorts of things should I do for the children? :chef: They will have their own table of food, and will range in age from 1-4.

Thanks for any ideas... (and preferably stuff that is easy and wont leave big stains when they rub their hands everywhere!)
:wave:

Small sandwiches
Teddy biscuits
Cheese ring chips
Baby fairy cakes

platter with grapes,watermelon,strawberries,segments of oranges/mandarins etc.

tiny cup cakes

tiny rice crackers with sprinkle

make little piklets

fairy bread cut into shapes

buy a pkt of those jam rolls the ones that have 9 in a pk n come in jam/chocolate n strawberry n slice them up into bite size



make everything little for little hands that way bubs isnt eating a huge big cake or a huge big chocolate crackle,just big enough for them to enjoy

fruit plattter with bite sized pieces- either that or make fruit skewers
mini muffins (blueberry, apple cinnamin, chop chic etc)
little sandwhichewes cut up
little mini home made pizzas made from english muffins?

fruit kebabs (but use pop sticks instead of sharp skewers)
zucchini slice cut into small squares - http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/5546/zucchini+slice
mini fritters - http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/16086/sweetcorn+and+zucchini+fritters
mini pikelets - http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/5757/pikelets
mini muffins - try these, they are yummy and if you use a sweetened yoghurt, no need to add sugar - http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/16068/banana+yoghurt+muffins
mini scones (make them without sugar and serve with a scrape of 100% fruit jam)
heinz organic mini rice cakes and vegies with dips

Oh wow, thanks ladies, those suggestions are awesome! I would not have even thought to do them a fruit platter, but what a great idea!

How about this:
Fruit platter (plus another one on the adults table)
Mini muffins or cupcakes (I like the idea of the yoghurt ones, thanks justmum)
Little sandwiches cut into shapes
Mini zucchini fritters (plus bigger ones for the adults)
Fairy bread
Cut up mini jam rolls (great idea Mum2Bella, easy and very cute!)

Is that too much sweet stuff? Can I add the tiny teddy biscuits too as I have seen lots of friends kids with them...

Oh and what should I put on the sandwiches? I was thinking some cheese ones and some vegemite ones? I know not to put peanut butter on them just in case!

[ezzza232]

i think that sounds great:)
not too much sweet stuff at all
for the sandwhiches maybe, cheese, cheese and vegemite, vegemite, honey, jam, cheese and tomato, ham and cheese, lettuce and cheese etc?

I dont think its to many sweet stuff as kids arnt really big eaters as parties its mainly the adults.tiny teddies are good also.

I would just go with the spreads jam/vegimite/cream cheese etc

Good point Mum2Bella, 1 yr olds won't eat that much, mainly focus on feeding the adults, with just a few mini versions for the kids.
But Great menu Larski easily adaptable for kids and adults :yelclap:

Wow, these are really good ideas, DS is turning 2 soon and I want to have an afternoon party also, excellent suggestions!
