Fun Party Food For Toddlers
These items are intended to be served alongside more simple party food , such as breadsticks, chocolate fingers and pizza. Do not feel you have to make every single item madly interesting! 
For example, you can see how the funny face cracker livens up this plate of food. Your toddler guests will be so excited by everything that is going on that no more preparation is required.
Pinwheel Sandwiches
These are easy. Simply take a piece of bread, cut off all the crusts, spread something delicious on it, and roll it up as if you were making a swiss roll. Put the roll in clingfilm or aluminium foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting into these pinwheels. Fillings that are a hit with toddlers include:
The original recipe for pinwheel sandwiches tells you to slice a loaf of bread lengthways. However for toddlers, I prefer the much easier option of using normal slices to make these funky mini pinwheel sandwiches.Funny Face Crackers
It is easy to put these funny crackers together. Be aware that they do tend to go soft if prepared a long time in advance so you need to make them up shortly before serving. If you are organising all the games etc, then get someone else to do this. Some adults prefer this job to playing party games! Alternatively, if there are only a small number of children, they could make their own funny cracker but you need one adult for each child to help them. Spread cream cheese on each cracker, then decorate as follows: 
Multicoloured Cupcakes
This is the quickest fun party food idea that I have thought up or come across.To make these, all you need do is make up the cake mix as normal. Then divide it into bowls 1 bowl per colour you require. Add the food colouring to each bowl as shown here. Fill the cake cases with a spoonful of each mixture. 
The colours wont run together, and they will come out looking like this. Now you are ready to decorate them any way you like. If you are short of time, undecorated cakes still brighten up a plate of finger food.Return from Fun Party Food to Toddler Birthday Party
