Birthday of the child is a cheerful holiday not only for the birthday person, but also for his parents. And if the child is waiting for gifts, guests and many surprises, then this holiday for moms is associated with some troubles. When a child's birthday is planned at home, the menu (and development, and cooking) is assigned to the mother. How to make a holiday carefree, joyful, but also tasty, full and safe?
On the birthday of the correct children's menu should be useful, balanced and colorful, so that small gourmets would like to try all the dishes. In order for the efforts to be appreciated by the children, learn in advance from the parents of the young guests about their preferences, and also specify the presence / absence of allergies to the products that you plan to use in the menu for the children's festive table. Potatoes, meat, vegetables are ordinary foods that seemingly will not surprise anyone, but the imagination of mom and a little birthday person is able to turn them into an unusual children's festive menu with original dishes.
Important rules
Unlike adults, young guests do not need a variety of dishes, so all efforts should be directed not at their number, but on the originality of the design. At the same time, exclude from the menu for children's holiday houses too fatty and spicy dishes, smoked meat, pickles. Salads dressed with mayonnaise, too, will not benefit the kids. Given the characteristics of the child's body, do not make complex multi-component salads, and prepare fish dishes with special care, so that not a single bone can not be on the plate.
Even if the young guests do not have allergies, it is better not to take risks, so avoid too bright fruits and vegetables.
Hot dishes
Many children I eat with reluctance, so too heavy and dense hot dishes can be untouched. To attract the attention of young guests to food, take care of the attractiveness of the dish. Even ordinary mashed potatoes, beautifully decorated with meatballs , cutlets or chicken skewers on skewers, may interest them.

Salads and snacks
A little imagination - and the usual vegetable salad and openwork tartlet from melted cheese will turn into an original appetizing basket, and sandwiches in the form of muzzles of different animals, ships with sails and bees directly ask in hands!
By the way, salads can be fruity, and if you add boiled chicken breast to fruits, then they are very nutritious.

Sweet table
For children this part of the holiday is the most long-awaited. A birthday cake is always waiting with impatience. Of course, you can buy a cake in the store or order a friend confectioner. But remember, the cake you cook yourself will always be more useful for children. It is not necessary to be able to work with mastic or with a confectionery syringe. The variety of ready-made jewelry is so great that you can easily make a homemade cake attractive. Varied sweet menu can be curd biscuit, cookies , home-made rafaella, cottage cheeses, eclairs and other delicacies that you can cook.

Do not forget about the drinks! To drink children love, and drink a lot, so no harmful carbonated drinks with dyes on the table should not be. It's great if in summer you have prepared juice or compotes yourself. If for the fresh fruit is not the season, and frozen in the house was not found, then the knot (compote of dried fruits) will be an excellent solution. You can make lemonade - and tasty, and very useful. To do this, lemons passed through the meat grinder, previously peeled and peeled, pour boiling water and add sugar. Lemonade, served in tall glasses, decorated with "hoarfrost" of sugar and a slice of lemon, sure children will like it.
