Weather Bday Party for 1St Graders

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/860693/how_to_th...

You could do Hot Dogs and serve them on a plate on top of a big round circle made to look like a thermometer in the red showing HOT

Cold Pizza, on a themometer in the blue showing COLD

White Grapes could be hail

Blue Hawaiian Punch in a punch bowl with swedish fish for a tidal wave or ocean

You could tint dip red and have it sitting in the top of a mock vocano with veggies at the base for a volcano crudete

What about sno-cones?

The first thing that came to my mind was spaghetti and meatballs, because I immediately thought of all the food in the book "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". If you read that before meal time, your choices are pretty limitless.

Or maybe go with your rainbow theme even further and find foods that make up the color of the rainbow (red apples, oranges, yellow squash, etc.).

Or just give food "weather" names. Egg drop soup would be "rain drop soup" - not really first grade party fare, but it was the first thing that came to mind. ;)

Sounds like a great theme!

The only thing I could think of was taking crescent rolls and shapping them into tornados. orange slices could be the sun. popcorn could be snow. make sandwichs and cut them into cloud shapes

Cotton candy for clouds or snow
Blue candy for the sky
Blue jelly beans for rain drops

Pizza & pigs in a blanket (just because)
Corn in a clear bowl for the sun
Blue punch for rainwater
Little patch of wheatgrass for grass (buy @ groc store) put sm fake bird
in it
Have a table top fountain going in the kitchen to simulate sound of rain
Fan for wind (yuck) :)
Wow this one is hard! Good luck!

I know you only asked for food ideas, but in case you are looking for some activities for the party, there are some great ideas here!

Serve white smoothies (snow drift) or blue punch with sherbert (typhoon) in hurricane glasses

Have you read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs? I'm sure you'd get lots of ideas there! And I guess there's also a movie!
