Any good finger foods for a 6 yr olds party??

Question

Got chicken dippers, mini pizzas, mini pastys, sandwiches, cakes, tarts and veggie sticks on the list so far. Now i've gone blank.
Thanks guys

Got lots of juice too, forgot that bit

Answer 1

Your list sounds pretty perfect.

I always use cookie cutters to cut up the sandwiches - star, teddy bear that sort of thing. The kids really love it, and it's a great way of encouraging them to eat the "boring" things. Looks lovely on the plates too.

Hope he/she has a lovely day.

Oh - and I also do individual jellies with little sweets like dolly mixture in the bottom. Not that healthy, but very popular.

Answer 2

You can NEVER buy too many chicken nuggest for a kids party (esp if im there). Party rings, GOOD CALL whoever said that one.

You can get all sorts now, what about some of those cool looking mini burgers or hot dogs, those little cocktail sausages, chop up some cheese (edam/red leic/mild cheddar) into cubes or other interesting shapes if you have time.

Cadburies fingers are great to arrange for afters =) but jelly/cakes a plenty and a whole bunch of monster munches. :D

--edit--

Babycattos : =) cool, pigs in blankets in our family were coctail sausages (roasted) with bacon wrapped round - like traditional xmas turkey side. But the cheese onese sound great too..

Answer 3

Pinwheel sandwiches: take all the crusts of a loaf of bread (works best with a sandwich loaf: ie. very rectangular). Then take long slices horizontally across the top of the loaf. Spread with preferred filling (something dark works best - Marmite, strawberry jam, chocolate spread etc). Roll up length ways (like a swiss roll) and cut into little rolled up sandwiches. Always goes down well.

My kids love falafel as well.

At the last party we had (a four year old one) the first thing we did was ice and decorate their own little bun. We put out jelly sweets, hundreds and thousands, raisins etc. and a bowl of plain glace icing (seived icing sugar and a little water to make a spreadable paste). Again, very successful.

Answer 4

PIG IN A BLANKET SNACKS (1/2 of a hot dog wrapped w/ a biscuit). My mom always made these & now I make them for my kids. I just get a pack of hot dogs (8 hot dogs make 16 pig in the blanket snacks) and 2 cans of Pillsbury biscuits the regular size not the grands size. I just cut the hot dogs in 1/2 & wrap each in a biscuit & place on a baking sheet according to the biscuit directions. They taste great & kids love them! Hope this helps.

Answer 5

My mom always served "piggy's in a blanket". They were little hot dogs (which can be replaced with turkey dogs) wrapped up with cheese I'm not sure how she made the crust so you will have to find the recipe. She baked them and served them like finger foods and the usually went pretty fast.
Good Luck

Answer 6

Sounds like plenty to me, you could try cutting sandwiches into diff shapes or rolling them if you want it to look like more variety, bread sticks maybe could be added, cheese and pineapple on sticks if you wanna go a bit retro, crisps, soft fruit, strawberries or cherries maybe. Have a great time!!

Answer 7

I know you have already mentioned veggie sticks but get those shaped cutters, eg. animals, clowns, teletubbies etc and use them on fruits and veg. that can be cut. The youngsters will enjoy eating them perhaps without realizing they are eating all the stuff they say they don't like whilst you are putting vitamins into them.

Answer 8

Triscuits

Answer 9

those circle biscuits with a hole in the middle, with pink, yello etc icing on the outside ... party rings, that's it, well done Sarah!

crisps - frazzles, monster munch etc

make little mini hot dogs!

Jelly and ice cream of course!

Answer 10

It sounds like you have pretty much got it covered. Ice- cream sandwinches or mini sundaes.


GOOD LUCK
