    It's my son's 7th birthday and party on the 23rd too!

    A good cheap and healthy nibble to have is a huge bowl of popcorn (flavoured if you like) and then children can fill up a paper cup and munch away. I think it's about 59p from Tesco/Morrisons for a bag of kernels which makes loads.

    Squeaky - Thanks for the links, I've just had a quick look through and there are some great ideas.
