My child hates fruits and vegetables; how else can I give him a birthday treat without baking cupcakes or cookies?
For a birthday party in your home, you can probably think of ways to make every day foods more fun. You could make mini-pizza’s and decorate them with toppings that make a smiley face or pattern, you could have a make-your-own taco bar or pasta bar and let everyone create their own dish. For a school party, the best bet would be a non-food treat. Kids love small toys or even events, such as having you come in to read a book, sing a song, or play a game with the class. A friend of mine bought Chinese jumpropes into her daughter’s class, gave one to each child and taught them how to play. It was a huge success and no one mentioned missing cupcakes at all!
