Fun and Finger Foods for kids parties

If you're planning a party for your little one, figuring out what to feed them can be tricky. You want to keep things simple and avoid any mess, while making sure there’s enough to satisfy both the kids and their parents. At Tots Toun Soft Play, we’re here to help! Along with our soft play, bouncy castles, and discos, we also offer a range of exciting food options to make your kids’ party even more memorable. We have a range of fun food machines like candy floss carts, slush machines, hot dog carts, and popcorn stations, we’ve got everything you need to keep the party going.

Finger Food for Kids’ Parties

When it comes to food, the key is keeping it simple, fun, and easy to eat. So, here’s a list of tasty finger foods that will make your party a hit with both the kids and the parents.

Savoury Finger Food for Kids’ Parties

Start with a selection of hot and cold finger foods to keep things interesting. Mini sausage rolls, carrot and cucumber sticks with a tasty garlic dip or hummus, pizza bagels, crisps, and classic party sandwiches (with the crusts cut off) are always crowd-pleasers. For something a bit more adventurous, we can bring along our Hot Dog Machine, you just need to pick the plates and napkins.

Sweet Finger Food for Kids’ Parties

For the sweet side of things, you can keep it light with fruit kebabs, watermelon slices (keep napkins handy for those drips), chocolate-dipped strawberries, melon balls, and chocolate-covered bananas. Cupcakes are always a winner as they’re easy to grab and don’t require plates or forks. Have a look at our Sweetie Cart Hire for the perfect arrangement. If you want it super sweet you can add on a Fresh Popcorn Cart Hire or have us along to spin up some fresh candy floss. If you’re hosting the party in warm weather, a Slush Machine Hire can be a massive hit.

Add Some Fun with Our Food Machines

At Tots Toun Soft Play, we make party planning even easier with our range of fun food machines. Hire our candy floss cart, slush machine, hot dog cart, or popcorn machine for a fun and interactive snack experience. These sweet and savoury treats are sure to add that extra bit of magic to your event!

How Much Finger Food Do You Need?

When it comes to quantities, don't overdo it! Aim for about 8 pieces of food per child. Remember, kids are more likely to be running around and playing than sitting down to eat, so you won’t need a huge spread. Stick to a few dishes from each category to avoid leftovers that you'll end up munching on for days.

Do You Need to Provide Food for Parents?

Yes, it’s a good idea to think about the adults too! You can create a simple charcuterie board with a selection of cheeses, cured meats, crackers, and other snacks. From experience we always pop an extra few hot dogs into the steamer as we see the parents eyes light up also.

Catering for Dietary Requirements

Its good to be mindful of different dietary needs. You can set up a separate “free from” and vegan side table, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the treats. Make sure to ask parents in advance if their children or they themselves have any dietary restrictions, and you can direct them to a table with options like veggie dippers, gluten-free snacks, and vegan mini pizzas.

With all of this finger food and fun food machines from Tots Toun Soft Play, your child’s party is sure to be a hit! Now you can focus on the fun while we help take care of the food.
