Preparing for a group of preschoolers is not quite the same as an adult dinner party. You are likely to want easy to prepare foods that the kids would enjoy. Consider the following suggestions.
Mini-sandwiches
A lot of little kids love mini-sandwiches and these do not take long at all to prepare. You can make all different types such as little jelly or cream cheese sandwiches (be careful with peanuts due to allergies). You can lay out a bunch of slices of bread, add the toppings, close the sandwiches and cut them into four pieces each.
Bagels and cream cheese
A lot of kids love bagels and cream cheese. You can purchase these from a bagel shop or you can buy the pre-made variety in bags. Mini-bagels are often the perfect size for this age group. You can leave out different types of cream cheese for the kids to put on.
Fruit
A lot of kids love fruit and this is very healthy. You can just slice fruit such as apples, melons, and so forth and let people choose what they want. Alternatively you can make a fruit salad with different fruits like bananas, blueberries, strawberries and more. You can also put out dried fruits like raisins and cranberries.
Snacks
There are many snacks that can go great at a preschool playgroup. Goldfish are a popular favorite among this age group. Pretzels and potato chips are often enjoyed quite a bit. Also, you can put out different cereals that the children like such as cheerios. You can put these out in individual bowls or you can mix them together. If it is a mix, you could also consider adding in a little candy to make it a little more fun for the children.
Baked treat
A baked treat might be a nice little thing to add to a preschool playgroup. For instance, a lot of kids love little muffins. There are many recipes that are easy to follow or you can just buy a muffin mix. You can also just purchase these already made. Kids also like brownies or little cakes. When making these, make sure to cut them into very tiny pieces.
To drink, you might want to just put out a variety of juice boxes for the kids.
When preparing foods for preschoolers be sure to take into account any dietary restrictions that the kids may possess. The above foods may work perfectly for your preschool playgroup get-together.
