My beautiful niece turned 2 and her parents threw her a great birthday party this weekend. There were so many kids running around in her backyard, playing with toys and enjoying the sun. My sister hired a woman who sang songs to the kids and played the guitar, and she also made them balloon animals! Quite a talented woman, and the perfect party entertainment. They served pizza to the adults and children, since it was easy to order and serve, inexpensive, and a food that both the adults and kids would love. For the second year, I made the birthday party dessert. My sister and brother-in-law asked me to make something healthier than birthday cake for the kids, so I looked on Pinterest (the source of so many things wonderful) and found this great idea:
FRUIT CONES!
Fruit cones are a fast, simple, and HEALTHY children's party dessert. I made a fruit salad of strawberries, blueberries, seedless green grapes, and nectarines. The strawberries were cut in half or quartered, the grapes were cut in half, and the nectarines were cut into small bites. I bought kiddie ice cream cones at the grocery store and filled them with fruit right before serving them (so the cones didn't get soggy). The cones were easy for 2-year-olds to carry around with them and eat, and they mostly used their adorable little fingers to get to the fruit. It was a hit. I have a feeling we'll be repeating this children's party dessert in the future.
