3. DIY ideas to keep your budget lower
Fruit Skewers: Transform simple fruits into a rainbow of fun by threading chunks of strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and melon onto skewers. For an extra magical touch, drizzle with a little honey or melted chocolate and sprinkle some edible glitter on top. These skewers are not only a hit for their vibrant colours but also for their sweet, refreshing taste.
Popcorn Bar: Create a mini cinema experience with a popcorn bar that lets kids season their popcorn to perfection. Set up bowls of plain popcorn alongside shakers of salt, cheese powder, cinnamon sugar, and cocoa powder for a variety of flavors. Don’t forget to include small bowls of mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or pretzel bits for added texture and fun.
Mini Pizzas: Who doesn’t love pizza? With English muffins or flatbreads as the base, kids can spread on tomato sauce, sprinkle cheese, and choose their own toppings from a selection of ham, pineapple, mushrooms, and peppers. Bake for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden for a custom-made treat that’s sure to please every palate.
S’mores Station: If outdoor roasting isn’t an option, a s’mores station can still capture the fun indoors. Use a small, safe tabletop s’mores maker or lay out digestive biscuits, chocolate bars, and marshmallows on a baking sheet under the grill for a quick melt. Watching the marshmallows puff and turn golden adds an exciting element to this classic treat.
Cookie Decorating: Kickstart the creativity with pre-baked cookies in shapes like stars, moons, or even themed shapes relevant to your sleepover party theme. Offer a variety of icings in different colours, along with an array of sprinkles, edible glitter, and candy toppings. Kids can use small spatulas or toothpicks to apply their designs, making each cookie a personal masterpiece.
Practical Tips for Sleepover Snacks:
- Safety First: Always check for allergies or dietary restrictions before planning your menu. Label foods if necessary to ensure everyone can enjoy the feast worry-free.
- Keep It Simple: Choose snacks that are easy to eat without too much mess. Finger foods are ideal as they require minimal cleanup and are perfect for nibbling throughout the night.
- Hydration Station: Set up a hydration station with water, juice, and squash. Keeping everyone hydrated is key, especially with all the excitement.
- Make It Interactive: Consider including an activity where kids can make their own snacks. A DIY ice cream factory gives that Pizza Hut vibe at home.
- Balance Is Key: While it’s tempting to go overboard with sweets, you could try to balance out the treats with healthier options. Fruit skewers, popcorn, and yogurt pouches can offer a sweet touch without the sugar overload.
