What To Serve At Toddler Birthday Party

For newly minted two-year-olds an hour to an hour and a half of party fun is plenty.

What to serve at toddler birthday party. A crostini with a peppered steak and horseradish cream. If you are having an afternoon lunch party you can even have some salads starters and the main course. I did them on coffee stirs.

You can serve them finger sandwiches with different fillings which can be held between two fingers. Serve party food in a colorful dish on a patterned tablecloth or with a creative garnish to make it extra-special for your kid and their guests. Think fruit salads pasta salads muffins and quick breads.

If the party falls in the mid-morning or mid-afternoon having snacks on hand such as fruit muffins pretzels. I did fruit and cheese kebabs to accompany the cupcakes at my sons birthday party. My thoughts so far.

Knowing when to call it quits is one key to a successful toddler birthday. Goals are delicious food that will hold up given the above conditions and be a cut above the typical pizza strips cold cuts pasta in red sauce options. If youre serving a crowd of toddlers or preschoolers who are all going to eat at the same time chicken nuggets dont forget the ketchup or Bagel Bites are.

Keep sugary offerings to a minimum at your childs party. Make spaghetti and meatballs for a Lady and the Tramp bash perhaps with butter and parmesan cheese instead of marinara sauce to cut down on the mess. Three- to five-year-olds can go an hour and a half to two hours before they max out.

Youll likely be serving birthday cake at your childs party but its a nice idea to have other desserts available for guests who may not like cake or simply to round out your dessert table. If you have a party over the lunch or dinner hour say 1130am 130pm or 4pm 6pm expect to serve kids a meal. They seemed to be a decent hit with the kids.
