How to choose food for children’s parties 

When planning a birthday party if the food is not carefully selected, prepared and served, many of your guests may get sick and need to go to the hospital. This article will introduce the food issues to be aware of when planning a birthday party for preschool children for the benefits of mothers and others who plan birthday parties.

How to choose food for children’s parties:

1. Prepare some light meals 

If you plan to hold a party for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it is more appropriate to arrange a light meal. Children of this age generally do not eat much and they are attracted to various activities and playing with friends. Pizza is a good choice as adults and children love to it and you can complement the pizza with multi-layered sandwiches or fried tortillas.

2. Meet parents’ taste

If the party is open for dinner, you still need to prepare for adults. You can cook at home, prepare mini burgers for children, and prepare big burgers for adults. Or take delivery of cheese pizza and add some interesting ingredients to the pizza.

As for beverages, you can choose soda, lemonade, or just a few slices of lemon in a can of water. If you want to, you can provide more rich drinks, but remember that you are not holding a cocktail party. If you plan to serve fruit juices in box packs, pass these to the parents to give to their children. Otherwise, the child is likely to drink 3 or 4 boxes.

3. Save some costs

To reduce expenses, choose the time between meals, such as 10:00 to 11:30 or 3:30 to 5:00 for the party. You don’t need much food, just snacks, drinks, and cakes for these times.

4. Food Safety

Most children 3 to 4 years old have developed chewing ability to eat almost anything. However, for younger children, avoid offering foods such as whole grapes and pop-corn  that may be a choking hazard for children of this age.

5. Sweets

Preschoolers are looking forward to eating sweets stuff at the end of the party. These sweet foods for birthday parties can be of various shapes and sizes. They can be muffins or cupcakes  decorated like animals or flowers. Different shapes of baking trays can be used according to the theme of the party.
