Party food for 7 year old girls

gingin_2

Party is tomorrow, 12 girls and 3 older boys to hoover up the leftovers.

It doesn't really seem very exciting, or very much.

Sandwiches - ham, egg, cheese

Cucumber, carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, hummus

Crisps

Sausages on sticks

Cheese and pineapple

Strawberries

Biscuits and fairy cakes

Does anyone have any suggestions or improvements, please.

I would add pizza slices, chicken nibbles & possibly a different sort of dip - but I think they will be happy with the list you have anyway.

jelly and ice cream and maybe tinned fruit and squirty cream and chocolate sauce and sprinkles!

trifle

pizza

mini sausage rolls

pigpen

maybe a big bowl of oven fries?

we have done these, also done mini potato waffles & mini carrot waffles which I think are better as they still taste good cold

hun - that sounds fine - but may I suggest you add some grapes? I have learned over the years that kids do actually love fruit! strawberries and grapes (and bananas) being their favourites! er - dont allow too many sandwiches each! most kids will ignore them in favour of more interesting stuff!

Not sure how much time you have tomorrow, but mini cheese tarts have always gone down well at parties I've done.

Make some shortcrust pasty and line bun tins (as if you were making jam tarts)

Put some finely chopped onion, slivers of bacon and grated cheese in each tart.

Beat a couple of eggs into half a pint of milk and pour into the tarts.

Bake at 180°C for about 20 minutes.

Thanks everyone, all lovely suggestions. I have enough time to knock up something tomorrow, so will try and make something hot and home made, cheese tarts sound lovely, especially as there is a veggie coming. Grapes totally slipped my mind. I seem to have really lost my mojo this year.
