These are Kid Friendly Recipes that are fun to make and perfect for any kids party, any time.
To make the foods even more fun for the kids, re-name the recipes to match the party theme.
For example, Pigs in a Blanket can be called, "Piglets in a Blanket" for a Winnie the Pooh Party or Colorful Fruit Parfaits can be called, "Jungle Fruits" for a Zoo, Safari or Madagascar party.
Silly Face Pizza You will need: English muffins (one half per guest), pizza sauce, shredded American or Mozzarella cheese; assorted pizza toppings.
Split the English Muffins in half and give each child one half.
Let each child add pizza sauce, cheese and the toppings of their choice.
Bake pizzas on cookie sheet at 375 degrees F.
for 5-10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
Crunchy Snacks Combine your favorite treats in a large bowl (dried fruit, coconut, pretzels, raisins, candy coated chocolates, etc)...
let your guests scoop out small cupfuls to snack on.
Pigs in a Blanket Slice hot dogs lengthwise and cut cheese into strips.
Unroll refrigerated croissants and stuff them with the hot dogs and cheese.
Roll croissants back up and bake as directed, or until golden brown.
Design your own Teddy Bear Cookie Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe or purchase refrigerated sugar cookie dough.
Roll out dough and cut with a teddy bear cookie cutter.

Once cookies are cooled - let the children decorate with icing and different candies to make faces, buttons, etc.
Colorful Fruit Parfait In a parfait cup, layer yogurt, granola and fresh fruit (make it colorful!!!).
Top it with whipped topping and serve with long handled spoons.
Lunch on a Stick Cooked turkey, chopped sliced cheese, chopped cherry tomatoes, squares of bread.
Using a skewer, add on bits of each of the above! Dessert on a Stick Same as above but use fruits on the skewer instead of lunch food.
