Children's menu for a child's birthday. Ideas for dishes for a children's holiday table, the simplest and most delicious recipes with photos

As a rule, a children's holiday involves fun outdoor games, sometimes with the participation of an animator or a clown, and, of course, the favorite dessert table for all children. And this means an abundance of sweets: ice cream, cream or soufflé, pastries, cakes and drinks (both carbonated and plain). Sometimes light fruit salads and interesting (children's) sandwiches are served.

Children who are excited about the game can be served the same drinks as adults - juleps, cobblers, frappes, fizzy drinks and other cocktails. But, of course, only non-alcoholic ones.

The choice of products for a children's birthday menu is very different from those that parents buy for adult parties. The children's menu should, first of all, be light, and the presentation should be original and interesting.

The best thing you can do when preparing a menu for a children's birthday is to involve your child in the cooking process.

Start with the dishes that the birthday person offers, then make your own suggestions.

When choosing recipes, think about how your baby can help you prepare them, and that the dish consists of simple and familiar ingredients.

Rules for choosing dishes

• Don't mix too many different flavors.
• Avoid spicy, salty, fried and overly sweet foods.
• Do not serve fish with bones, peeled fruits, as well as berries and grapes at the holiday table - exclude anything that could cause a child to choke.
• Serve meals in portions.
• The dishes should be placed at a safe distance from the children’s play area. Serve treats in small portions, preferably in unbreakable containers.
• Cut the pieces as much as possible and remove excess so that the eating process does not become complicated.

Products by age

Ages 1 year, 2 years, 3 years:

• exclude everything that can cause allergies in children (honey, citrus fruits, berries);
• do not treat you to heavy food;
• Mushrooms, smoked meats and nuts should not be served.

Children's ages: 4 years, 5 years, 6 years:

• at this age you can already serve boiled sausage and frankfurters, but smoked ones are not advisable;
• no need to serve fish;
• Don't take risks by serving exotic or out-of-season fruits.

After 7 years (8 years, 9 years, 10 years):

• only now is it possible to treat children with bright juices;
• it is possible to serve salads with beets;
• maybe berry desserts.

For the little ones

The most demanding guests and birthday parties are children under 3 years old. There are many factors to keep in mind when preparing treats for these little ones. The most important thing is to remember that all children are different and if your baby is omnivorous and can do everything, this does not mean that his guests can also eat absolutely everything.

Familiar and simple foods can be served in beautiful holiday decorations.

General rules:

• All ingredients should be familiar to children.
• Kids should also know the names of the dishes on the table.
• Methods for eating most foods are best limited to the spoon.
• It's great if you can eat with your hands.

Organizing a children's party is fundamentally different from an adult birthday. After all, there will be a lot of children at the party who need to be entertained.

In general, the menu for celebrating a children's birthday differs from an adult's in the minimal content of harmful products.

VIDEO: Children's birthday party at home

Good day everyone! We all love to celebrate holidays. But you always want to make a holiday for a child something special, especially when it comes to the birthday of your unique and adored children.

After all, a child’s birthday is the most important day in every family. Little guests always bring fun, laughter, joyful smiles, funny photos, chores into the house and create such an attractive atmosphere throughout the day.

And therefore, no one will argue with the fact that for all this you will need a children's festive delicious table. On which there will definitely be a big beautiful cake, and definitely something creative from different products. And of course, everyone wants to decorate the table with different decorative items in a special way, with a creative approach.

In this article I will share ideas for children's dishes. A child's birthday is first and foremost a holiday for our bellies. 🙂 therefore, the menu needs to be simple, but at the same time tasty and healthy.

I would like to note that the menu for a child’s birthday has its own characteristics, primarily age-related. The menu for a 1-year-old and the menu for a child aged 3 or 7 years will, of course, be fundamentally different from each other.

1. Under no circumstances should smoked, too fatty, or salty dishes be present on the children's table. Try to exclude fried foods and try to use mayonnaise, pepper and garlic to a minimum.

2. Don't get carried away with experiments. Remember that children love most those dishes that they know and those that taste familiar to them.

3. If the children are still very small, then remove fruits and vegetables that can cause allergies and those that can leave strong stains on clothes.

4. If you are preparing fish dishes for the children's table, carefully remove all the bones.

5. Eliminate soda. Carbonated water is an enemy for a child's body. It is better to prepare berry fruit drinks, compotes, natural juices, and tea.

Features of creating a menu for the birthday of a child 1 year old, 2-3 years old, 5-6 years old

Menu for a 1 year old child

Often, many parents do not know what menu to create for a birthday when the child turns 1 year old. Due to the fact that the child is still very small. There is no need to invent something, it’s better to give the child what is useful and what he loves. For example, this could be his favorite cottage cheese and fruit juice with children's cookies. And also make assorted fruits from purees. Well, for dessert you can bake a light sponge cake coated with baby cottage cheese.

Menu for a 2-3 year old child

This menu should also be simple. After all, a child of 2-3 years is still too small to eat any delicacies. Exclude from the menu all kinds of smoked meats, fish, overly fatty and salty dishes, and of course recipes with mayonnaise. You can prepare some kind of vegetable salad, mashed potatoes and meatballs, snacks with cottage cheese and raisins, uzvars or jelly. You can offer your little guests natural juice from fruits or berries.

Menu for a 5-6 year old child

For this age, it is much easier to create a menu, because children of this age are allowed to eat almost all ingredients. But still, it is better to serve chicken or lean beef as a starter. You can use pasta or mashed potatoes as a side dish. A salad would preferably be made from vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Drinks can be used in various types of fruit drinks and juices. Well, for dessert there is a sponge cake soaked in cottage cheese and berries.

Children's birthday drinks at home

For drinks, you can offer natural compotes brewed at home, juices, uzvars and fruit drinks.

Or you can make milk jelly. This is a very tasty and healthy drink, especially for children. There are children who do not like to drink milk, but milk jelly will be a salvation for most, because it can be cooked not only for a birthday, but for example for an afternoon snack.

2. While the milk is boiling, make the starch. Pour water into the starch and mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps.

3. As soon as the milk has boiled, add granulated sugar. Mix well until it dissolves and there are no sugar grains.

4. Now carefully, very slowly pour the starch into the milk in a thin stream.

Important! When you pour in starch, you must always stir the milk so that clots do not form.

5. Cook the jelly for about 1-2 minutes after the milk boils again. And then be sure to remove from the stove. Cool. Give it to your child. You can pour it into a sconce and sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Or you can decorate with slices of tangerines, which will evoke strong emotions and a desire to quickly eat this delicious dish.

This is the kind of interesting holiday menu you can get for a child. The main thing is to want to please him! and decorate everything beautifully.

Make your child's birthday unforgettable! Give him your love, care and attention and then you will see that the child will reciprocate your feelings! What dishes do you usually prepare in your family, and how do you decorate them?

Treat your guests to delicious dishes and, as they say, bon appetit, friends!!!

R.S I think that when a child has such a significant day in his life, and even if he is a preschooler, then you will definitely take the treats to kindergarten. I have an interesting idea on how to beautifully pack treats for kindergarten. This can be made in the form of a cake. More details on how to make one like this may be covered in a separate article on this blog.
