Lego Duplo Party {The Food}

As I mentioned in my party post, I wanted to keep this party focused on the basics. With a few simple decorations and some doctored up fun foods our party was the perfect Lego Duplo

To show off the drink cups a bit more I covered them in yellow paper and drew little faces on each of the cups to represent a different Lego guy. If you look closely you can see that each face actually matches the Lego on top of (and hanging from) the cups.

Munchies were also Lego themed. We went with peanut butter and honey sandwiches and cheese and crackers.

The peanut butter and honey sandwiches were super simple and fun! I made the sandwiches, cut off the crust (and ate them!), and cut the sandwiches in half.

Then I used my smallest round biscuit cutter to cut out small holes out of another slice of bread. I used some more peanut butter to adhere the bread to the top of the sandwiches. Two for each rectangle.

If you have a peanut allergy you can easily use sunflower butter instead. Or make the sandwiches with meat and use cream cheese to adhere the bread dots to the top. I was also considering making cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches as well. There are endless possibilities!

The cheese and crackers used the same techniques. I slathered two crackers with cream cheese and sandwiched in a piece of cheese in the middle. Then I used the cream cheese to adhere some cheese circles to the tops of the cracker sandwiches.

I had all intentions to coat these rectangle sandwich cookies with red, green, and blue chocolate and cover them with little m&m dots but time got away from me so I simply served them as is. Not as exciting but still fit the theme! And the kids couldn't get enough of them.

As a play on the Lego guy's head shape I made some watermelon & feta skewers for the mamas. This is my latest favorite combo and adding a bit of basil makes this a super tasty bite on a stick. You can also cube up the watermelon, toss with feta and basil, and serve as you would a salad!

In order to satisfy the mamas at the party I decided to throw together a simple quiche. Honestly, there's nothing special about it. And really... it's more of an egg bake in a pre-made frozen pie crust. I simply combined cooked sausage, spinach, 6 eggs, a cup or two of cheese, some salt and pepper and poured it into the crust. I then baked until it smelled done (maybe 35 minutes?) and pulled it out.

And the color is yellow like a Lego head, right? Haha... might be too much of a stretch.

Yum!

If you were planning a Lego Duplo party what would you serve?

Musical tote bags - includes an echo-microphone, a personalized tambourine, maracas, and a trumpet. This is a great idea for music or karaoke themed parties. This bag was definitely my daughter's favorite. She was instantly happy and started rocking out as soon as she got the maracas in her hands. We might have to get these for her second birthday party for all of her friends!

Gumball Machines - varying from all different sports, to princess', pirate's, and of course, the traditional machine. Adding a little twist, they offer the choice of having gum balls or jellybeans in your machines! These are a great party favor for older children who are celebrating with you and your child.

Block pail sets - the perfect gift for children five and under. These block sets come complete with 33 blocks and a clock top. That way you can teach your child time and shapes. For more great toddler ideas check out the infant/toddler favors.

Sip and Snack  Bottles - These bottles come apart to form a straw cup and snack cup that are easily portable for on the go sip and snack fun. Instead of grabbing your snack bag and sippy cup simply use the Sip and Snack Bottle while out and about. For more fun cups go here to check out their selection.

This is just a taste of what Kiddie Antics has to offer. All party favors are hand painted, to your party's theme. Each favor is also personalized with your party guests name. For added convenience they come individually wrapped (which is included in the listing price).

My kids absolutely LOVED What Kiddie Antics had to offer and enjoyed the products pictured.The personalization was the perfect touch to making these favors stand out from others we've purchased in the past. Each item can be personalized with your child's name or the names of the children attending your party.

When totaling up the amount I've spent on previous party favor bags for my kids that I've assembled myself it's come out to roughly $10-15 per child. If I would have known about Kiddie Antics before these parties I totally would have taken advantage of having them do all the work! Plus, as I mentioned before, they do all of the personalization and wrapping for me. 

We will definitely be using Kiddie Antics for our future parties.
