Yummy Party Food! French Flies, Pirate Teeth, Toad-Slaw

Home » Kid Party Articles » Fun Foods

With just a bit of creativity, even the simplest party food can be magically transformed into the most exciting delicacies. And all you have to do is change the name to fit your party theme and put a decorated sign beside the plate.

For example. At a Pirate theme, grapes become "cannon balls" and kernels of corn turn into "pirate teeth". For an Army theme, the same corn (this time on the cob) becomes a bright yellow "grenade" and red licorice is "dynamite". How about serving "French flies" and "Toad-slaw" at a Safari party? And at a Superhero party sliced carrots are instantly transformed into "Super Power Sticks for X-Ray vision". The kids will "buy into" your creative food (even if it's healthy) if you just "market" it with a bit of pizzazz.

Another great party idea that kids will love is creating yummy and healthy smoothies, for example blending in bananas, pears and berries with ice, or any other combination that could suite your party theme or might be your kid's favorite flavors. For a princess or fairy party you can blend strawberries with bananas, or for a superhero theme blend bananas and some honey with granola to give those super-heros a boost!

For every special-named theme food make a little sign attached to a popsicle stick so that everyone will know the special name of the food as well as its connection to the party theme. Giving original names to regular food will get everyone a lot more into the atmosphere of the theme and will up the morale.

In every theme on the site there's a party food section where you'll find lots of creative names for regular foods. The options are endless. Something fun you can do, is spend a few moments with your kids before the party and come up with some of the coolest food names of your own.
