birthday party snack ideas

[chkpea]

hi .....a bunch of 6 year olds coming over tomorrow...serving jello jigglers (not so healthy), cake and ice cream, maybe banana boats? any other ideas? I don't want to go over board on food...party from 2-4:30.
thanks for any ideas....

I'm not sure what banana boats are, but it seems like everything you listed is pretty sugar intensive. I'd probably try to balance the sugar out with some protein--maybe cheese and sausage cubes, baby carrots with hummus, something like that.

At my 4 yo's party, I put food out that the kids & adults ate - cheese & crackers (cheddar, brie, rice & water crackers), tortilla chips & salsa (but could get kind of messy though we got through it without problems), and some crudite with dip.
