Fun Kids Party Snacks
Amp up the fun quotient at your next kids’ party with creative party snacks. You do not need a caterer or major bucks to make a big splash with the food at a children’s party. With children, presentation is key, so stick to simple ingredients and allow children to customize and create their own tasty recipes. Provide alternatives for children with food allergies and diet restrictions.
Food Ideas for Kids’ Parties
The type and amount of food you serve at child’s party depends on what sort of party you are throwing. Obviously, you will need to serve cake at a birthday party and should serve snacks at the very least. If you are throwing a sleepover, you may want to serve breakfast to the guests in the morning. And if the party is to mark a milestone, such as a graduation, bar or bat mitzvah, or Sweet Sixteen, you may want to serve a full meal.
Hand-Painted Furniture Ideas
A few hours and a pint or two of paint can transform a humdrum piece of furniture into a conversation piece or family heirloom. Hand-painting furniture for your baby’s nursery, your living room, your patio or kitchen not only guarantees you an original piece of furniture, it provides you with the satisfaction that “decorator” pieces from the store will never be able to match.
Children’s Birthday Party Decorating Ideas
Decorating for children’s birthday parties has come a long way since pink and white gingham for girls and trucks for boys. Contemporary parties often represent the imagination and ideas of the guest of honor and features thematic imagery and interactive decorations. Involve your child in the birthday party-planning process, and set aside a special do-it-yourself project for the children to complete, such as painting a treasure chest gold, personalizing a long birthday banner or scattering sequins over the place settings.
