If you’ve ever thrown a birthday party for one of your kids, you know that the costs can add up. Presents, decorations, party favors, plates and napkins and cups… oh my! My top tip to keep costs down is to choose a time when you don’t have to serve a ton of food. My favorite party times are 10 am and 3 pm. Keep it simple and choose some of these 20 birthday party food ideas for kids.
20 Birthday Party Food Ideas for Kids
Grilled cheese bites
Make grilled cheese sandwiches and then cut into squares or fun shapes.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
Cut these into small squares or use cookie cutters for fun shapes. Be sure to check for any potential allergies—if there are any, use sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
Pizza pinwheels
Roll up pepperoni and mozzarella cheese in crescent rolls, slice into rounds, and bake.
Pigs in a blanket
Save money by skipping the lil’ smokies and just get regular hot dogs and cut them into four pieces! Wrap in crescent rolls and bake.
