My daughter is turning 4 and we throwing her a birthday party. I'm looking for finder food ideas for the party, tired of the same old stuff. I already have a few finger food that I will be serving like, cup cake, chicken wing, veggie plate, spring roll, and fruit salad. Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks
Sandra
Pickle rollups - ham, cream cheese wrapped around a pickle then cut up.
Pudding / Jello cups
PB&Jelly sandwiches cut up with cookie cutters
Mini brownie bites
Rye bread with velveeta cheese and sausage on top
Rye bread with cucumber and cream cheese on top
Little Smokes in BBQ sauce
Little Smokies wrapped in Bacon
Little smokies wrapped in cresent rolls (pigs in a blanket)
For our son's 3rd birthday, he wanted corn dogs, so we found some at Sams Club (they were a huge hit). We had a fruit salad, cheese/crackers, fresh veggies.
The BIGGEST surprise to me was how many of the kids ate the buffalo chicken dip I made - totally blew me away. I'd made it for the adults.
I also made homemade onion rings that were a hit (though time consuming).
We went to a 4 year-old's birthday party recently. They had individual applesauce cups for the kids as well as string cheese which were all hits.
Hope those are some helpful ideas for you.
Meatballs are a good finger food...you could set out toothpicks to pick them up with.
Based on the theme of the party you can cut sandwiches out of cookie cutters to match. You can even make Jell-O Jigglers the same way! Jell-O is a fun finger food! Cookies are another idea. You can turn this into an event for the children to enjoy. Give them their own cup/bowl filled with frosting and give them a Popsicle stick to spread. This keeps everyone’s germs to themselves and lets the kids have the fun of licking the frosting off of their sticks!! Sprinkles for a finishing touch are wonderful! This way you could also get away with not having to give out plastic bags filled with candy or stuff that will break easily. The kids are making and taking their party favor!
Tater Tots, pigs in a blanket, bowls of goldfish crackers, those little applesauce cups to pack in lunches, fruit roll ups, those soft cookies w/frosting on top (cheap at Walmart), string cheese (for those kids that like them, small individual fruite cups (ready packaged for lunches). Hope that helps. Have fun and H. birthday to your little one!
Tortilla rolled sandwiches, pigs in a blanket, donut hools on colorful toothpicks, meatballs in BBQ sauce (heated)....
Those are my "go to's".
- Ants on a log (celery for the log, spread on peanut butter, and put raisins on top for the ants)
- meatballs
- cheese and crackers
I've always made what were called "Armenian sandwiches". Basically a tortilla rolled up with just about anything, and then cut into about 1 inch pieces. If you want some specific stuff to put in there, let me know - I always do the same thing.
fish-sticks, celery with peanut butter are always a hit :o)
I should NOT have read these posts when I was hungry :-)
Fruit kabobs were a fun thing I did one year, but with 4 year olds you have to be careful.
You could do a cheese ball shaped like a cake with crackers.
You can put ham and cheese or other toppings on Triscuits and melt the cheese, or cream cheese and strawberries.
Mini-quiche, deviled eggs,etc. are good, too
