Handy Tips & Tricks:
Catering to a room full of 6-year olds can be daunting because everyone will have an opinion on what and how much they want to eat or drink. The key is to provide a variety of options so that there is something for everyone.
Check in with the birthday kid; they may have certain ideas of what they want on the day and that is a really good place to start... after all, everyone will be there because of them!
Think outside the "food box" - not everything has to come in a box or container. If you're stuck for ideas, ask around or do a quick search online. There are tons of great ideas out there to help make your child's party food box the best one yet!
It is also a good idea to check in with other parents regarding any allergies, intolerances, or picky eaters before finalising any food selections. This will help avoid any drama on the day of the party.
