Main Dishes

• A kids' party at meal time can include sandwiches cut into fun shapes, miniature hot dogs in small buns, and the ever-popular chicken nuggets.
  
  

Vegetables

• Providing each guest with a bunch of toothpicks and some raw sliced vegetables gives them the opportunity to "build" a vegetable man and then dip his parts into individual containers of ranch dressing.
  
  

Fruits

• No flatware is necessary for kids to eat bananas "like a monkey," munch on individual clusters of grapes, or enjoy orange sections or apple slices.
  
  

Desserts

• Miniature cupcakes are easier to eat than the traditional bigger ones. Little filled pies are always popular, especially if there is chocolate in the center, and an assortment of cookies along with ice cream in a cone will please any child.
  
  

Extras

• Provide kids with their own little plastic containers of party mix, pretzels, or tiny crackers, and accompany those with fruit juice in a variety of flavors frozen on a stick.
