The choice of products for a children's birthday menu is strikingly different from those that parents buy for adult holidays. A children's menu should, above all, be light, and the presentation should be original and interesting.

The best thing you can do when preparing a children's birthday menu is to involve your child in the cooking process.

Start with the dishes that the birthday person offers, then make your suggestions.

When choosing recipes, think about how your baby can help you prepare them, as well as that the dish consists of simple and familiar ingredients.

Dish selection rules

• Don't mix many different flavors.
• Refrain from spicy, salty, fried and too sweet.
• Do not serve fish with seeds, peeled fruits, as well as berries and grapes to the festive table - exclude everything that the child can choke on.
• Serve in portions.
• The dishes should be placed at a safe distance from the place for children to play. Serve the treats in small portions, preferably in a shatterproof container.
• Cut the pieces as much as possible and remove the excess so that the food process does not complicate.

Products by age

Age 1 year, 2 years, 3 years:

• exclude everything that can cause allergies in children (honey, citrus fruits, berries);
• do not treat heavy food;
• do not serve mushrooms, smoked meats and nuts.

Children age: 4 years old, 5 years old, 6 years old:

• at this age it is already possible to serve boiled sausages and sausages, but smoked sausages are not desirable;
• no need to serve fish;

After 7 years (8 years, 9 years, 10 years):

• only now is it possible to treat children with bright juices;
• it is possible to treat salads with beets;
• you can berry desserts.

For the little ones

The most demanding guests and birthday people are babies under 3 years old. There are many factors to keep in mind when preparing treats for such crumbs. The most important thing is to remember that all children are different and if your baby is omnivorous and can do everything, then this does not mean that his guests can also eat absolutely everything.

Familiar and simple foods can be served in a beautiful festive setting.

General rules:

• All ingredients should be familiar to children.
• Kids should also know the names of the dishes on the table.
• It is better to limit the methods of eating most dishes with a spoon.
• It's great if you can eat with your hands.

Children's birthday table

You can decorate a children's birthday table with napkins, bright disposable dishes with your favorite cartoon characters, hang balls and garlands around, prepare carnival costumes, decorations for games. Such decoration will make the holiday much more interesting. All of this can be ordered from the online store.

Prepare contests and games - the children's party should be mobile to make it fun. For instance,

It would be better to make a children's buffet, then every kid can eat when he is hungry. All together children can eat only cake.

The main thing in the children's holiday menu is that all the dishes are tasty, healthy, or at least not very harmful to the child, and so that all this looks very elegant and beautiful and the children want to try not only sweets, but everything else (and not as always: adults eat salads, and children lean on cake). Here are some ideas for a children's birthday menu, including decorating salads and children's sandwiches:

Children's salads for the festive table:

Almost any salad can be made "childish", for this it is enough to decorate a festive dish in the form of animals or other original things. With great pleasure, the child eats a sweet fruit salad, you can cheat a little by adding fruits or citrus fruits to the chicken salad - and go to the children's party with a bang. Instead of mayonnaise in children's salads, if possible, use sour cream, you can make homemade mayonnaise without vinegar (with lemon juice).

Hot holiday dishes are harder to draw a child's attention to, so they need to look just as attractive as salads. Children are very fond of pizza, and if it is prepared especially for them and decorated in a childish way, the pizza will be eaten with a double appetite. Fillings to the taste of your kids, and the design ideas are as follows:

Turtle cutlets will also delight the birthday child and guests. Cooking minced meat like cutlets. Insert 6 pieces of sausage around the perimeter and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. You can also wrap the cutlet in bacon, it will turn out even tastier and more beautiful:

A rice garnish for a children's party can be decorated, for example, like this:

Looks cool on the festive table:

Decorations from vegetables, fruits and eggs will diversify the children's holiday: flowers, animals, fungi from eggs and tomatoes.

Or simply prepare your child's favorite dish by decorating it in an unusual way.

Sandwiches for children

For children's birthday, you can make cute sandwiches in the shape of animals and fairytale cartoon characters. For making children's sandwiches, it is better to take buns (as for making hamburgers), cut them very thinly, children are mostly not lovers of bread. Take the sausage of the highest grade, boiled, better special for children. I prefer not to use mayonnaise in children's sandwiches. Main ingredients for baby sandwiches: cheese, boiled sausage, butter instead of glue. The eyes of the sandwich animals are made from olives. For a child, you can also make very colorful sandwiches in the form of ladybugs from tomatoes.

and this is not all photos of sandwiches for a children's party. The sausage can be replaced with boiled tongue, it is also quite easy to cut, in any case, sausage should not be given to children under 3 years old, and older ones only on holidays.

Don't forget the fruit, too. A fruit plate for a children's birthday should be at the head of the table. And you can also lay out the fruits quite beautifully - in the form of flowers, butterflies, birds of paradise ...

Festive menu for children under one - three years old

At your request, I am writing what you can cook for kids' birthday. The next festive dish is suitable for babies up to one year old and older (up to 2 years old). We spread the cat from sweet rice porridge (or mashed potatoes) and grated boiled carrots. You can decorate with egg and tomato mushrooms and stuffed tomatoes with mice from a vegetable salad inside, flowers from fresh cucumbers, and apple swans.

Your child will definitely pay attention to such bright and interesting dishes and eat with gusto.

Children are always non-standard personalities. As a rule, they:

• prefer sweets to other foods;
• delighted with beautiful food, which is like from a fairy tale;
• they like to have fun and learn new things more than to eat;
• will not pretend that they liked something if they did not.

Based on these points, we will create a menu for a children's birthday.
Of course, parents and other adult family members want, first of all, to feed the child healthy and nutritious food, and sweets after that. And this also has its own conditions, because no one will deny that food should be:

1. from quality products;
2. if possible, not fried;
3. with a minimum amount of various spices.

In addition, when children gather in a company, they will not behave like adults in such situations: they will talk peacefully (or not), serving each other the dishes that are on the table. Because of this, it is best to serve the food that you will treat little guests, divided into portions. Menu for a children's party with a photo

Children's menu for the holiday recipes

Pizza for childhood

Pizza is perfect for the main course! Is there anyone out there who doesn't like pizza? It is unlikely that there are such! Therefore, pizza is the best option for a children's birthday. It can be cut into all sorts of pieces and then spread out to the children whoever they want. Vegetarian pizza may be a good option. She must be:

• without mayonnaise;
• with good quality cheese;
• with multi-colored vegetables.

That being said, if you have organizational skills, it would be a great idea to cook pizza with the kids! Most likely, little cooks will get themselves dirty, so you should inform your parents about cooking and stock up on small aprons.

children's party menu at home

Impressions about after such a master class will be indelible! So:

Of course, what the child did himself, he will eat with pleasure.
And also a great solution would be small pizzas that look like flowers! They look impressive, and also a size suitable for children's pens. To find out how to cook such a delight, you need.

A la pizza

Many kids love pasta. And they can also be used to make portioned pizzas! This dish looks like pizza because of the cheese and vegetables, and not because of its preparation, but it tastes very similar! The preparation is as follows:

All this must be done without slowing down so that the cheese can melt from the hot spaghetti and make the dish whole.

In this version of pizza, you should use ready-made products, since the formed dish will not be subject to heat treatment:

• fried or boiled mushrooms;
• cut sausages into mugs or boiled sausage cut into thin strips;
• pickled cucumbers (you can take baby cucumbers) and everyone's favorite corn;
• rings of tomatoes (cherry tomatoes will look good) and bell peppers.

Baked vegetables in a pot

It is not difficult to prepare. At your discretion, you can bake vegetables with or without meat. But the design should be as unusual as possible! From the dough, form a circle and thin sausages - this will be an octopus, which should be used as a lid. For such a dish, it is better to use small pots - it is unlikely that the children will eat everything. This meal option is perfect for the Sea Pirates theme.

Another option for decorating baked vegetables is with a cheese-creamy sauce. You can lay out the top in the form of faces from fresh vegetables - here you should try and turn on imagination. In order for your art to remain the way you intended it, you should decorate the ready-made dish.

Side dish and sausages

Definitely, the side dish also needs to be made festive. For instance:

• deep-fried potatoes;
• colored pasta;
• boiled corn and green peas from a can;
• mashed potatoes.

To make it interesting, we don't just boil the sausages, but serve them in the form of octopuses. Making them is very simple, you just have to look at the photo. Of course, you need to buy the highest quality and freshest sausages!

Mashed potatoes

Basically, children love mashed potatoes. And if it is prepared according to all the rules with good butter and natural milk, then even more so. And of course, you also need to serve it beautifully and with imagination!

Train vegetables

It might be a good idea to cut a bell pepper train into the carriages. Children are unlikely to eat the trailers themselves, but it doesn't matter - after the holiday, use them for cooking either.

Fly agaric eggs

Such "fly agaric" can be served both on skewers, and simply by placing them on a plate, as an independent dish, or even as a decoration for mashed potatoes or the same trains. To compose these mushrooms for children, quail eggs will be preferable - and there are more benefits and look more childish.

Stuffed tartlets

There are a myriad of fillings for these dough baskets, both sweet and savory. The most important thing is that the dough in the tartlets is very tasty and tender. Here is an incredible assortment of fillings at the link -!

Baby sandwiches

There is already where fantasy roam! But in order for the sandwiches to be beautiful, you need to cook them slowly and carefully.

Consider the types of canapes that kids are likely to enjoy. A good option would be to put the sandwiches separately as a buffet table.
Sandwich "ladybug": loaf, spread-paste, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, black olives. The spots on the back are also from olives.

This option is best offered to older children to make sure they don't drop their food.
For the birthday of the little princess, heart-shaped sandwiches will be wonderful. The girls will love it!

Sandwiches-boats

These boats are just super!

Option 1: Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise. You need to scoop out the pulp with a spoon and fill the cucumber with the prepared salad (at your discretion). Cut thin slices from a whole cucumber with a vegetable peeler (or on a grater with the appropriate side). After that, we attach the slice-sails with skewers to the base of the boat. Such boats look great!

Option 2: Here you need a bread with a dense texture. Oil is spread on it, cheese on top, and red fish on it. We fasten the sails from cheese to skewers.

You can also put a cheese and sausage plate on the table, where the products will be laid out in the form of an animal or something else on the theme of the holiday. Of course, parents who take care of their children should be careful when choosing cheese and sausages for their child. And, of course, this idea will not work for babies.

Original cheese plate

These Christmas trees can be built more than one, using different types of cheese. But keep in mind that children do not always like cheese, so do not overclock too much if your holiday is for young children.

Layered salad with mice

Puff salad will also be interesting for children, and we will decorate it in a childish way too! You can lay out any salad in the form of a cheese head, which is laid out in layers - just keep in mind that all products should be suitable for children. And mice of different sizes will delight your guests!

Fruit for a children's birthday

Serving sweets should be approached in a special way. After all, it is a well-known fact that sweets are of particular importance among children. No one will argue that fruits are much healthier than cake, pastries and other industrial sweets. And beautifully served fruits want to taste faster.

Bananas in the form of pirates. You can make a bright bandage from large paper napkins or from small pieces of thin fabric. Draw faces, eye patches and various vegetation on the "face" with a marker. This drawing will be absolutely safe - after all, it will be on the peel.
The pirate theme is the simplest because you can play almost anything in it.

For contests, you can use the following games:

• draw an SOS signal on a surface strewn with semolina (as a rule, this idea goes with a bang);
• pluck bananas tied to the "palm" (without arms), so as not to starve to death on a desert island;
• look for a treasure with a bowl of flour, semolina (or something else suitable for this, turn on your ingenuity).

Homemade ice cream on the children's table

Making ice cream yourself takes a little work, but the result is worth it. There are also different options for decorating it.

A butterfly cake would be perfect for this scenario. The base should be cut out of a biscuit, covered with your favorite cream on top and various fruits should be laid out beautifully on it. Very bright, beautiful and original!

A children's birthday menu should be thought out with great care. It should turn out to be interesting, original, and varied. It is important to take care not only of the taste, but also of the bright and unusual design of each treat and, of course, its harmlessness to the child.

Decoration and decoration of children's dishes: ideas

Today in stores you can find many delicious details for decorating children's dishes. These are chicken / fish nuggets in the form of dinosaurs, and already figuratively chopped vegetables, and edible "eyes" and many other similar options.

Do not forget about bright skewers. With their help, you can fix a vegetable sail, a cheese tree, etc. on sandwiches or tartlets.

You can cut out decorations for children's dishes from vegetables and fruits, paint on ready-made treats with sauces, and sculpt various fairy-tale characters from melted cheese and other suitable products.

How to set the table for a child's birthday?

You can set the table for a children's birthday according to the standard scheme - put out all the treats at once and put plates with cutlery for little guests next to it. But it is much more convenient for babies when goodies are freely available. Then you will be able to run up to them at any time during the game and have a snack.

For example, with this option, you can arrange portioned treats on small plates and put them on a common buffet.

The main thing is to make the portions small "for one bite" and do not forget about the large number of napkins.

Decorating the table is in a thematic style. For example, make it pirate, cowboy, etc. Special sets from the store of accessories for the holiday will help in this. They include plates, glasses, tablecloths and napkins with bright patterns.

Features of making a menu for a child 1 year old, 2-3 years old, 5-6 years old, 10 years old

When inviting children of different ages to your house for a holiday, first of all, you should ask their parents if little guests have allergic reactions to any products.

Perhaps, mother categorically forbids some dishes to her child. Such moments must be taken into account when drawing up the menu.

• For one-year-old crumbs, the best treats will be fruit purees in sealed containers, which are convenient to eat without the help of adults, as well as apples and bananas, cut into large pieces, baby cookies without chocolate and other additives. Both natural juices and plain water in individual bottles should be offered as drinks.
• For kids aged 2 - 3 years, you can already put vegetable puree as a side dish on the festive table, serve baked poultry meat without seasonings and sauces, original cutlets, nuggets. Homemade yoghurt cakes, fruit and berry platter will be the best dessert.
• At the age of 5-6, in addition to all of the above, children are already willing to eat salads, try various types of meat, any desserts. The main thing is to minimize the amount of hot spices in them, and instead of mayonnaise in snacks, use sour cream or unsweetened thick yogurt.

Ten-year-olds and older guests will surely be boldly trying all the treats served. Therefore, it is enough to clarify their taste preferences in advance or try to cook something universal that will definitely appeal to all young gourmets.

If little guests are reluctant to try dishes from the "adult" menu (let alone force the children to eat, say, boiled vegetables, there is no question!), You can use a little trick - to prepare original hot dishes that will surely please little gourmets. This, for example, is a tender, airy soufflé made from boiled chicken or unusual bagels stuffed with meat - a delicious and completely unhealthy hot snack. And for a children's matinee, you can prepare an original festive breakfast from ordinary sausages and scrambled eggs.

Little fastidious people will surely like hearty meat muffins with millet and beets - they look almost the same as ordinary muffin muffins, but they turn out to be much more satisfying and, most importantly, healthy. Both children and adults at the festive table will certainly be able to appreciate the miniature hot appetizer - ruddy "koloboks" from mashed potatoes with meat filling and crispy crispy crust. And from the same potatoes and minced meat, you can make unusual "sandals" baked in the oven (the stuffing of minced meat can be replaced with finely chopped ham and cheese).

Holiday recipes for sandwiches and snacks for children

Not a single festive table - neither for children nor for adults - is complete without sandwiches and snacks, and at first glance, these simple dishes can be decorated in the most unusual way. So, for example, from the simplest ingredients - bread, curd cheese, cucumbers and tomatoes - you can cook original canapes - "caterpillars" on skewers. You can try to treat little guests at the festive table with delicious and hearty mini-sandwiches with scrambled eggs. If small fussy choices require only Cola, chips and other harmful "goodies", you can cook delicious paprika chips from lavash at home - they will differ from "store" ones only in shape.

A very interesting option for a snack for a children's festive table is miniature “chickens” made from eggs and potatoes (if you wish, you can “put” the resulting chicks in a “nest” made from french fries). As a hot snack, you can make buns stuffed with ham, cucumbers and scrambled eggs and baked in the oven. And a couple of familiar fairy-tale heroes - Crocodile Gena and Cheburashka - will look quite unusual and cool on the festive table: such an appetizer requires the simplest ingredients (cucumbers, eggs, bell peppers), and the most costly part will be the direct production of figures from edible “improvised means ".

Sweet holiday recipes for kids

For little sweet teeth, you can prepare a lot of interesting things for the festive table - not only sweet, but also healthy. For example, the guests gathered at the festive table will surely appreciate the delicious dessert - chocolate tartlets with curd dessert, airy and tender. A delicious cottage cheese dessert can be made from regular cottage cheese, cookies and yogurt, garnished with fruits or jelly sweets. And “shop” sweets can be replaced with “homemade” confectionery products made from tasty and healthy oatmeal - both children and adults will be happy to “crunch” such sweets.

A very unusual and delicious festive snack for children is pancake rolls with jam on skewers (however, this requires first mastering the difficult art of baking perfectly thin pancakes). If you want to do without baking and generally some complicated procedures, you can prepare a sweet chocolate confectionery sausage from corn sticks for a children's party, which will appeal to little and adult sweet tooths. Young chefs will easily cope with the preparation of this dessert. And in the summer heat, the children's festive menu can be diversified with fruit desserts with ice cream.

Recipes for cakes for a children's holiday table

Of course, it is impossible to imagine a children's party without a cake - and instead of buying a "store-bought" cake, it is much better to prepare a healthy and tasty "homemade" delicacy. First of all, when planning a children's holiday menu, pay attention to the recipes for cakes that look like “store-bought” chocolate bars. This, for example, is a cake with the self-explanatory name "Bounty" - the recipe and the cooking technology are quite complicated, but the result - you will lick your fingers! A little simpler - the recipe for "Snickers" cake made of sponge cakes with a layer and filling of chocolate with peanuts. And it is quite easy to prepare a custard cake "Eskimo", which looks exactly like the familiar ice cream.
