Birthday Parties for Kids
One of the many joys of parenthood is throwing the annual birthday party - and you can multiply that by how many kids you have. Although party themes change from year to year, the basic framework for a successful get-together stays the same.
Tips for a successful party:
Serve Familiar Foods. Keep the meal simple and recognizable - this is not the time to introduce new food items - chicken fingers, tacos or pizza are just fine.
Make it Finger-Friendly. Finger food is a great way to go; you don't need accidents with silverware. Make interesting shapes out of sandwiches or cookies by using cookie cutters.
Stay With a Theme. If your party has a specific theme, work that theme into the food, whether with creative naming (for a prehistoric-themed party, deviled eggs become dinosaur eggs), edible centerpieces (a gelatin-filled "fishbowl" for an aquatic party) or specially-shaped cakes (a basketball for a sports party).
Let the Food be Part of the Party. Get the kids involved in making their own food: miniature pizzas on English muffins, decorate-your-own cupcakes or an ice cream sundae bar are all easy ways to make the meal more fun.
