<\/p>\n

\n Planning a slumber party, sleepover, for your kids is great fun.\n <\/p>\n

\n Getting together with friends, playing games, and seeing who can stay up the longest makes these parties very memorable.\u00a0 Take those memories a step further by introducing a creative menu.\n <\/p>\n

\n Get the kids involved and see if you can come up with some really great, fun, and tasty treats for your Up-All-Night crowd.\n <\/p>\n

\n Here’s some ideas to get you started planning.\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Ants on a Log
\n <\/h3>\n

\n This is an easy, fun way to get those imaginations running wild.\u00a0 Cut
\n
\n celery
\n <\/a>
\n into small chunks before the party.\u00a0 The sleepover guests can then add cream cheese or peanut butter to each one.\u00a0 Then get out raisins (the ants) and the kids can stick as many raisins as they like on the
\n
\n celery
\n <\/a>
\n sticks.\n <\/p>\n

\n Watch the giggles start when they gobble up those \u2018ants’ stuck on the gooey \u2018log.’\u00a0 Not only are these treats fun and tasty, they are also healthy.\u00a0 You don’t have to worry about a late-night sugar high turning your party into chaos.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cupcake Creations
\n <\/h3>\n

\n Half the fun of cupcakes is decorating them.\u00a0 Have the cupcakes ready and waiting for your overnight guests to decorate to their hearts content.\u00a0 I recommend mini-cupcakes so each party-goer can decorate and eat more than one.\u00a0 Lay out a supply of\u00a0 different frosting colors, writing gels, candies, sprinkles, and any edible embellishments you can think of.\n <\/p>\n

\n The more the merrier.\u00a0 Prepare the area, and yourself, for a mess!\u00a0 But, also be prepared for some great memories and lots of perfect picture opportunities.\n <\/p>\n

\n Remember the Rice Krispies
\n <\/h3>\n

\n A classic like this never goes out of style, for many reasons.\u00a0 They are easy to make and you can get the kids involved right from the beginning.\u00a0 Measuring, counting the marshmallows, stirring, and pressing out the treats are jobs that kids of slumber party age can do with a little bit of supervision.\u00a0 Once the base is formed, the rest is pure pleasure.\u00a0 Again, you want to go overboard with the edible decorations.\n <\/p>\n

\n Remember to include melted chocolate and peanut butter for these treats.\u00a0 But also consider candies, frosting, sprinkles, and even food coloring.\u00a0 It’s all about having fun making this popular treat, even before having fun eating them.\n <\/p>\n

\n Pizza Party
\n <\/h3>\n

\n Sure, you can make a couple big pizzas and cut them up to serve, but why?\u00a0 This may fill tummies but it’s not a whole lot of fun for the kids.\u00a0 Instead, have the guests assemble their own pizza and choose the toppings they want.\n <\/p>\n

\n Make this process all about the fun of creating individual pizzas, with lots and lots of possibilities.\u00a0 Start simply with small tortillas or rolled out refrigerator biscuits for crusts to make this snack super easy.\n <\/p>\n

\n Then let the cooking games begin!\u00a0 Get a selection of sauces, cooked meats, sausages, pepperoni, mushrooms, tomatoes, other vegetables, pineapple, other fruits, cheeses, and a variety of toppings to satisfy all their taste buds and imaginations.\n <\/p>\n

\n Watermelon Cut Outs
\n <\/h3>\n

\n This is a nice treat for summertime slumber parties.\u00a0 Slice the watermelon into about one inch thick circles or semi-circles.\u00a0 Lay the watermelon out on a work surface and put a pile of cookie cutters in the middle.\u00a0 The guests can use the cookie cutters to cut the watermelon into shapes they like.\n <\/p>\n

\n Arrange the watermelon shapes on a big tray and share the \u2018cookies’ with all the party-goers.\u00a0 This is a refreshing treat late at night after the pizza or other heavier foods.\u00a0 You can do this with other fruit as well and create a mix-and-match tray with a variety of different shapes for each guest to enjoy.\n <\/p>\n

\n You want to do two things when it comes to a slumber party \u2013 keep the kids busy and don\u2019t mind the mess.\u00a0 When it comes to creating memories, getting everyone involved in preparing the food and snacks is a wonderful idea.\u00a0 This is something your kids and their friends will remember for years to come.\n <\/p>\n
