Amazing and elementary- birthday party food ideas kids will love-keep you sorted

Struggling to come up with a menu for your child’s party celebration? We’ve got birthday party food ideas that will make your guests happy and keep your budget under control.
Choosing best kids birthday party places, children entertainer, —party decoration ideas—are the key elements at children’s birthday parties, right? But there’s one additional component that’s essential to a successful gathering, no matter what the age of the guest: food.
If you plan to cater yourself for your child’s birthday party, keep the food simple and wholesome, fresh fruit in the form of fruit kebabs, vege sticks and dip, homemade pizza, maybe some cupcakes, a few potato crisps and cheezles, a birthday cake and you are done. Prepare and freeze as much as possible beforehand and have some extra help on the day to prepare and serve.
They are still very young to make a mess—and you as a parent—is a milestone worthy of a party. Your littlest guests won’t be too interested in the spread, making this a great chance to brainstorm birthday party food ideas for adults (enjoy it while you can). Here are some crowd-pleasing ideas
- Deviled eggs
- Barbecue sandwiches
- Cheese nachos
- Cheese n corn sandwiches
- Baked potato bar
- Stuffed mushrooms
- Jalapeno poppers
- Spinach-artichoke dip
- Pasta salad
But don’t forget the little ones altogether, of course! 4-5 years old birthday celebration demands a variety of foods, so consider putting together a “kids buffet” with things like cheese cubes, mini sandwiches, crackers, bananas, muffins, yogurt, applesauce, pasta, hard-boiled eggs, lean proteins, and more
Finger foods make a best party idea and everyone’s life easier—you don’t need to provide cutlery, and your guests aren’t trying to chase a toddler while balancing a plate of salad.
“Prepare foods in smaller sizes like bite size meatballs and place them on skewers or make mini hamburger sliders that are easier for your little ones to hold.
If you are a working Mum with a family, you could do with some help with the catering. One option is to order in from a fast food store like Dominoes Pizza, Kentucky Fried, Macca’s or Chicken Treat, or a happy meal from Mc Donalds. It is simple and cost effective. Pre-order, arrange a collection time, get hubby to go pick the food up, easy! And what kid doesn’t love fast food!!
Birthday party snack ideas
Birthday party snacks don’t need to be loaded with calories, sugar, or sodium. Here are some healthy options for younger and older kids alike.
Guacamole, salsa, or seven-layer dip
Popcorn
Meat and cheese tray
Fruit and veggie platters
Hummus and pita chips
Cheese and cracker platters
Trail mix
Dessert ideas for a kids’ birthday party
If you want less of a hassle, opt for cupcakes instead. There’s no cutting, and they’re easier to serve. Consider icing cupcakes in different colors and arranging them in a fun pattern, or one that spells out your child’s name or “Happy Birthday.” Put out sprinkles and other decorations so each guest can create her own masterpiece.
Need a few more ideas for dessert? Budget-friendly desserts that also happen to be kid-friendly include pudding, oatmeal cookies, fruit plates, and what kids’ birthday party would be complete without ice cream.
Want to take your efforts up a notch? Here are some additional dessert options for kids’ birthday parties that require a bit more effort:
Mud cups. Use clear plastic cups, fill halfway with chocolate pudding, top with a layer of crushed chocolate cookies like Oreos, and then put a gummy worm or two on the top.
Ice cream sundae bar
An assortment of pies
Waffle bar with toppings (syrup, chocolate sauce, fruit, powdered sugar, etc.)
Chocolate fondue
With many children with food allergies these days, don’t forget to check with their parents in advance
