Help with Party Food Boxes for 9 Year Old

Options
Hi,
Daughter will be having a bouncy castle party for her 9th birthday at the weekend.
Rather than having buffet style, I thought to make life easier I've ordered party food boxes.
Now I'm panicking as to what to put in them.

Was thinking drink, roll, yoghurt (frubes), grapes ....
Any other ideas??

Deserts, I will do separately.
A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    Carton of juice
    hula hoops (or similar)
    sandwich or roll
    fruit on cocktail sticks (or longer sticks if you can get them) - chop up alternate apple/strawberry/grape (or whatever you like that's around & will go on a stick)....goes down a treat!

    I can't make the pic any smaller :(

    maybe a savoury skewer too - cheese/olives/tomato...

    small cupcake (in addition to birthday cake)

    box of raisins

    small packets of party rings/ choc fingers/breadsticks - anything in a bag really...

    In fact - stick anything in a nice cardboard box (check amazon & ebay for types/costs) & small children will wolf the lot :D

    Have a look at kids party food on Pinterest. Lots of ideas there..

    A small yoghurt and plastic spoon. A cheese string. A homemade sandwich. Some crisps. Grapes or carrot sticks, maybe. A fairy cake. Chocolate fingers. A pretty napkin. Maybe a hat to wear if you want to jazz things up a bit.
  • I would do a sandwich or roll, frube type yogurt, a babybel and a little fairy cake or bag of mini biscuits if you don't want to make cakes plus a drink. Then I would probably serve a platter of fruit with the cake as that way you don't have to find lots of little containers to put the grapes in!
