Food

Serve simple, healthy, non-messy food that is appropriate for kids. When planning the menu, think about what you would feed your own child. Use local and organic foods. 

Here are just a few examples -

• A fun shaped pasta made with a mixed vegetable sauce and topped with cheese
• Grilled cheese sandwiches cut up in fun shapes - use a cookie cutter
• Tortilla Pinwheels or baked pinwheels
• "Make your own individual pizza" could be a fun party activity for kids. Use healthy organic ingredients and toppings
• Fruits kababs or fruit cups
• Yogurt bar with yogurt and an array of toppings 
• Vegetables and healthy dips - kids love dips

Drinks

• Milk & cookie - milk in small clear glasses topped with one cookie
• Naturally flavored milk (strawberry, peach, banana, mango or other fruits, vanilla, cardamom, saffron, etc)
• Fruit flavored lemonade (strawberry, blueberry, peach, or mint, etc)
• Kefir or Lassi 

Get creative - You can get ideas for food from the birthday theme you and your child have chosen.
