A birthday is always a celebration for every person. Usually, a festive table is set up on such a day, guests who give gifts are invited, and there is a festive atmosphere in the house. However, the child’s birthday is always considered the most emotional and solemn. This is due to the fact that children perceive all the holidays more vividly, therefore, they need to pay special attention, and the birthday table for children should be special, set taking into account children's specifics and some nutritional restrictions.
Some parents prefer a healthy lifestyle and pay special attention to food. Therefore, the birthday table in their understanding should consist only of fruits and cakes based on them. Such an attitude to children's nutrition is quite commendable, but the fact is that a table is set for a holiday that happens once a year, and the child remembers such moments for life.
Others believe that a children's birthday table should consist mainly of sweets, since they are very loved by children. Therefore, parents seek to serve cakes, pastries, jellies, etc. However, they do not think about the fact that basically all of these dishes consist of sugar, which is harmful to the body in large quantities and undesirable for use in childhood. Therefore, the combination of products should be balanced and bring health benefits and joy to children.
Ideally, a children's birthday table should include fruits and even pies, and cakes with a low content of fatty creams can also be served. You can order a festive cake in the confectionery, having previously discussed its components, so that it is not only tasty, but also healthy. Drinks are best served non-carbonated, made from natural products. Therefore, homemade compotes or fruit drinks are ideal.
The children's birthday table should not contain alcoholic drinks and coffee, and it is also advisable to completely exclude chocolate from the menu and try to reduce the amount of sugar-containing products. In fact, you can use any products that are suitable for children, but it should be borne in mind that everything should be in moderation.
After the table is set, you need to do its decoration. Since the birthday of the child is a children's holiday, then the decorations should be appropriate. However, before deciding the question "how to decorate a table for a child’s birthday ", it is necessary to determine the age group that will be at the event. The fact is that young children often run around and cannot sit still for a long time, which means that when decorating the table it is better not to use ribbons or serpentine, and it is also advisable not to tie balloons close to the table.
Many parents decorate the children's table with various toys or figures, but here it is also necessary to take into account the fact that a certain age group of children is located in order to pull small objects into their mouths. Therefore, you should not use small objects or goodies with such gizmos (chocolate eggs with toys) for decoration.
A properly designed children's table will bring a lot of joy to the child and leave a pleasant impression for life.
