When your baby grows up sooner or later and begins to make sense of everything that is happening around, parents have to take a more responsible approach to the design of all the festive events that are dedicated to the child. They must be bright and unique, so that the moments of such feasts become unforgettable and remain in memory for many years. The menu should be especially carefully prepared taking into account the taste preferences of the hero of the occasion, as well as all of his young guests. But what if there is practically no time left to prepare some intricate dishes, and so I want to pamper the kids with something special and tasty? A quick tip: serve canapés on the table . This is the best way to diversify the familiar menu with something original, and also, no less important, to control the amount eaten by each child, in order to avoid further digestive problems.
How to cook canapes? This simple dish usually consists of pieces of a wide variety of products strung on a skewer. The composition can vary depending on the tastes as you like, without any restrictions. Canapes for children should not only be pleasant to the taste, but also originally designed in appearance. It is very important to interest the kids in a bright and interesting form. Here you will come to the aid of your own imagination, as well as several ready-made options.
To begin with, it’s still worthwhile to decide what canapes will be prepared for children who will come to visit your child. Carefully treat the composition, because at a young age, children should eat only fresh, high-quality and natural products. The best option may be a puff snack of a variety of fruits or vegetables. Moreover, the second option can well be prepared instead of salads. This will be much more useful, because in the canapes you will not need to add the notorious mayonnaise. As practice shows, even the most capricious children, who usually do not like to eat vegetables, are happy to treat them in such an amusing way.
You do not want to bother with cooking fruit salad for a long time, and there is no time to whip cream ? All ingredients are enough to cut into small pieces and put together with a toothpick. At the same time, you can take into account the original color combinations and create “striped” (kiwi - strawberries, orange - banana, peach - cherry and so on) canapes. For children, it is important that the food is exactly bright and beautiful.
You can use canapes as a dessert, if you cook it from various sweets. Here, multi-colored marshmallows, marshmallows and marmalade will be appropriate. Such interesting sweets for tea will appeal not only to small, but also to all adult guests. In addition, these products are beneficial for children and are indicated for enhancing brain activity. So if your kid works hard all day at school and gets very tired, such canapes will become for him the best reward for his efforts.
But how can you nevertheless submit such a culinary miracle to the table. Here is one interesting idea. In a deep bowl, dilute the green jelly and let it cool well in the refrigerator. Cover the dishes with hot water and place the contents on a flat plate. You should get a semicircular treat. Attach the “eyes”, “mouth” and “nose” to the blank with multi-colored chewing candies, marmalade or pieces of marshmallow and fix them on the jelly with small sticks (you can use pieces of toothpick for this purpose). Gently place the canapes on top. For children, this could well be called an “alien” who flew from a distant planet to treat them with “cosmic sweets”. No one can refuse such a treat.
