Lunch Menu
Kids party planning doesn't have to be difficult. Here are some recipes and ideas to
get you started:
- Carnival style foods: Corn dogs, hot dogs and hamburgers are always popular
with kids and don't require recipes at all. Other carnivals style favorites include
nachos or fried chicken, a down home favorite. Wash it all down with a country
style lemonade and have plenty of pocorn and snow cones on hand.
- Chicken fingers: Popular with young kids, serve chicken fingers with an array of
dipping sauces, including a sweet honey mustard sauce, ranch dressing,
barbecue sauce, and, of course, ketchup. It's easy to make your own chicken
tenders! Instead of using breadcrumbs in your favorite recipe, try crushing a
cornflake cereal. That's how to give a kid friendly upgrade to a favorite party
food.
Easy snacks for kids
- Dipped pretzels
- Party snack mixes
- Smoothies! You an make simple and healthy smoothies with yogurt, frozen
strawberries (or other frozen fruits), a dash of honey, and a bit of apple juice to
water down the texture. - Get more party snack ideas.
- Crunchy bread sticks and cheese straws
- Crackers in fun shapes abound from goldfish to butterflies and teddy bears
- Cheese sticks and round crackers
- Quartered sandwiches in cupcake papers
- Toasted pita pockets with hummus dip and a yogurt cucumber dip
- Corn on the cob (cut in half for little fingers)
- candied apples

Here are some other foods at pool parties that kids will love:
- Make a party mix: Start with goldfish because they get along swimmingly at a
pool party. Next, choose gummy candies in party themes (sharks for example for
a beach themed party). Sprinkle in pretzels and Pirate Booty and you're halfway
there. Anything goes in your sweet and savory mix, including yogurt covered
pretzels and raisins, - Gelatin dessert fun: Jello gelatin is another menu item kids will appreciate for a
pool party and which also helps with hydration. But don't just serve regular
gelatin dessert: choose a blue base and sprinkle in gummy fish. - Float around with different sodas. Rootbeer floats are popular, but your kids will
really remember your party if you make orange soda floats, Dr. Pepper floats, or
Jones Soda blue floats.
Themed party food, drink and snack ideas:
Food serving containers add to the fun of your party theme, and here are some ideas
to get you started:
- Bug themed foods
- Complement your Halloween party foods by serving up utensils in a small coffin
shaped box. You can paint a small wooden box you find at the craft stores.
Another fun idea is serving a party mix in a witches' cauldron. - Surround your Pony party cakes in a paddock or corral. You can create a serving
tray yourself by gluing Popsicle sticks to a small box. Another presentation is to
use the wooden fence you might already have from a toy.
