Kids of that age usually like to eat what they know - they won't thank you for unusual food or food they don't recognise. When my kids were that age I did sausage rolls, pizzas, ham sandwiches, cheese spread sandwiches, egg sandwiches, crisps, chicken nuggets, bread sticks etc etc, followed by jelly (they love it if you have some of that 'squirty cream' they can put on themselves (with help if needed) and top it with hundreds and thousands, cakes etc.

pastry whirls are good - puff pastry rolled out, spread with jam, rolled up and cut into wheels - turn on their side and bake in the oven on baking paper until golden - leave until cool and peel off the paper.

We always did cones at partys - make your own cones and then lay out bowls with different toppings for them o dip their cone into - like chocolate strands, cocoa powder, rainbow drops - always goes down well.

I agree with spud queen, you can't beat the old favourites where little ones are concerned.

You can also put out carrot sticks, baby tomatoes, grapes, raisins etc.

I wouldn't do too much, most of it will end up mashed into the carpet or floor anyway.

What I did a couple of times, was to get little boxes - kind of like the ones you get at mcdonalds, and put a picnic selection in them - carton of drink, raisins, sandwich, sausage rolls, crisps and a cake - then just had extra if anyone wanted them - it saved making too much. - It also meant that they all went into the garden to eat it and there was no mess in the house and I didn't need to try and sit them round the table.

Things like sausages on sticks, pizza, crisps, chicken strips covered in breadcrumbs, i also did carrot and cucumber sticks and fruit kebabs where you put lots of different fruit, bright colours are best, on a plate and have some wooden kebab sticks for them or mums to make them choosing what they want, this was always really popular.
Another really nice treat is plain rich tea biscuits and get some tubes of writing icing and sprinkles for the kids to decorate themselves.

buy ready made puff pastry and stuff with sausage meat for home made sausage rolls...another filling will be cheese & onion , curry veg, bacon & mash..
