So we are having a morning tea for Cooper's second birthday.
Food ideas, cause it's been a while since I've done a little kids party & Cooper isn't a normal food child (plus I'm too lazy to search previous topics) So am thinking: Plain chips fruit kebabs, pear/apricot/watermelon cupcakes then birthday cake. I don't need anything more than this do I?? ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

I would add popcorn and marshmallows as possibles - the popcorn is good for many children with food issues if it is plain (one of the few treats allowed at our creche).
oh and cherios if you want a traditional kiwi thing  -------------

I've been thinking about this too. Your menu sounds good to me, I don't know what yours can't eat (mine is dairy free) but I was going to do fairy bread, iced biscuits, plain chippies, popcorn and fruit. And cake. Mini cupcakes would be good though.

Likewise, unsure what's on your no-go list but I did similar to you plus savoury muffins (veges, no cheese). My 2yo's party was late afternoon though I and I wanted to have enough food not to have to bother with tea after (for my DS). ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

Your menu sounds great, not too over-the-top and a 2yo will have little understanding anyhow. I'd actually consider dropping the cupcakes and bringing the birthday cake out right away as some little kids take a while to eat while others will lose interest and run off and play. Cupcakes + cake will probably be too filling. -------------  |

Thanks guys.
Mum said cherio's, I'd totally forgotten about them! He's pretty much no go on most foods. Which rules out things like popcorn. I think I'll go with T's idea of dropping the cupcakes & put cherio's in their place. Cooper & his vege pal can just miss out on them. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

...or if they have tomato sauce available, they may change their minds.... lol (assuming it's their choice to be vege, not their parents' choice!) ------------- |
