Kids Party Food Tips

Kids are fussy eaters but if you know how to find fun ways to prepare and set out their favorite foods, then you will find them enjoying your party. There are many fast party foods that you can prepare.

Pizza: Most children like pepperoni on their pizza. If you can get them to eat green and red pepper or other veggie on their pizza, it would contain more nutritional value.

Food Techniques

Cheese and Crackers: Protein and calcium help children in their growth and cheese is one food item that contains them. Cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheeses along with round butter crackers are a big hit with kids. Some children even like wheat thins, which are also beneficial to health.

Beef Sticks: The nutritional value of beef sticks is at best debatable but at least they are yummy. Additionally it is a source of protein.

Veggies and Ranch Dip: Most children do not like to eat vegetables. However those who do will like them more because they think Veggie and Ranch Dip makes them tastes superb. Hopefully those children who usually do not like vegetables will find them palatable when the dip is used. It's worth a try.

Potato Chips: This is definitely not the healthiest of foods but it is a party and children are supposed to enjoy themselves, so relax a little with those rules and let them enjoy.

Pretzels: Pretzels are a healthy, low-fat alternative to potato chips.

Ice Cream: This is one of the most commonly served and expected foods at a children's party. Ice cream goes well with almost anything and most children will be disappointed if it is not served.

Cake: Cake of course is the most important item on the food agenda. How else will a child be able to light up the candles and to sing a birthday song? A tasty alternative to this would be an ice cream cake.

Hot Dogs and Hamburgers: Usually all kids love hot dogs and hamburgers, even if they are not of the highest quality of food. They make good party food. Some children prefer them plain, others like a dab of ketchup.

French Fries: French fries serve as a complement to hot dogs, fish sticks or hamburgers and they are not expensive.

In order to avoid stress, do your preparations ahead of time. Those foods that you want to buy can be ordered in advance. Some catered food or pizza and hamburgers offer home deliveries. If need be, ask your friend to help you to pick up the cake.

Children with food allergies will be the first to tell you so, but just in case they forget, so do ask them first. If there are, make sure either that type of food is not served, or if it is served, assign someone to make sure that the child with the allergy will not have access to it.

With all these preparations in place, parents should have a less stressful time preparing for the party but instead enjoy yourself with the kids as well.
