Childrens party

[Guest guest]

Dear friends, I am thinking of having a birthday party for my 3 children

of mine, Jeremiah 5yr & Lael 9yr boys and a girl Joyce who will be 7yrs

old, there birthday is April 8 except my youngest whose birthday was

April 2, what do I need for a good party? what what recipes have you got

for things like birthday cakes etc, I have never thrown a party and

never had them when I was young myself, so I need plenty ideas please, I

want to give them the healthiest party I can, but none of there friends

are vegans or vegetarians, I and my family are Vegans and SDA, so will

hold the party on the Sunday, so please give me some ideas!!!!! awaiting

your fantastic ideas!!!!

I wouldn't worry much about making a birthday party 'healthy.' If I were

throwing a party at home I would probably have a birthday cake, brownies, maybe

soy ice cream - kids probably won't notice a cake or brownies being vegan so the

ice cream might draw more (unwanted) attention to the food being vegan. I'd

make that call depending on what kids would be there. Or have both a vegetarian

and vegan version of ice cream available. Then I'd probably do chips and salsa.

If I were going to serve a meal I would probably get a couple of pizzas. One

with cheese and the others cheeseless with lots of healthy veggie toppings.

Lots of kids are lactose intolerant so cheeseless pizza is okay for most people.

I would go the 'cheeseless' route rather than use something like veganrella.

With a child's birthday I would shy away from anything that might make your kids

seem weird or different.

We have done make your own pizza and decorate your own cupcakes parties

before. Our kids want to play and PARTY! so I focused more on having

wonderful games, unless you go all out, the kids don't notice the food that

much anyway. Here's one of our favorite games we play at every party (and

sometimes just on a lazy Saturday)

 

Sticker Tag is very easy to do. Give each kid a sheet of stickers, I usually

use stars like teachers give out. The goal is to stick stickers on everyone

else, and try not to get too many on yourself. The " winner " is whoever has

the least amount of stickers on them in the end. It's great for little kids

and big ones, their age basically decides how serious they take it. My

little ones don't care who wins, and it's just as much fun. I always try to

have 1 or 2 more games than I think I'm going to need just incase some don't

last as long as I think they should, or the kids lose interest. I also try

to set up a " craft " table so anyone not interested in playing games (or just

a little shy) have something to do.

 

Good luck!

Jodi

When Lexie turns 7 we are just going to have a sleepover (birthday cake and

pizza to celebrate) - yep we are already planning it. We tend to plan big

parties and count on lots of guests and then only have 7 or 8 kids show up. I

always feel obligated to invite grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc.. but

for the most part they haven't actually been coming. So I think we are going to

progress towards friends only parties in the future. I like the sticker game

idea:)
