Healthy (ish!) Party recipes for Daughter's 2nd Birthday please?

Lizbetty

When I say healthy..she will be getting the obligatory fairy cakes from my mum, but she does love healthy stuff too so it seems daft to pump her full of chocolate and hot dogs (head, shoulders knees and toes...!) if we can do her something else fancy that she'll love.

It's not a kids party as such, just family, does anyone have any recipes or food ideas that we can nab?

I'm hoping for stuff that's not too complicated as I'm also tied up with our littlest daughter (who's 4 months), so I'm hoping for easy ideas! Her birthday's not til 18th June but we're hoping to buy grub bit by bit as we're skint.

Thanks loads in advance!

chop up some bananas, strawberries, grapes and put them on little coctail sticks.... I'm not thinking LOL they're only two..!

Put them in a bowl, parents will love you because there child doesn't have to then just eat chocolate and sugar

When i did my dd's 3rd birthday i did fruit kebabs and they went quicker than anything else! i used strawberries, grapes, pineapple, banana and i stuck a few blueberries in between. but leave the banana til last coz it goes brown

as the previous post says carrot and cucumber and also some cherry tomatoes, houmous & mayo to dip?

Not alot of children like the crust on bread but horrible mean parents (me)always make their child eat it before they move onto the goodies... but if you don't mind the wastage cut the sandwiches with cookies cutters: flower shapes, star shapes and love hearts is what I've done before now...

Left over bread can be given to the ducks or birds...a little trip out

Use the leftover bread to make home-made chicken nuggets...if you run out of leftover bread, then use cornflakes..goes down well with kiddietwinkles and parents too..they're really crunchy and tasty!

Chocolate cornflakes cakes are really easy to make or make them with shredded wheat ripped up obviously.... or rice krispies
