kids party food

[mumofE]

Hi all
I've got a kids party coming up and age range for kids is 2 to 8. What would you say is great food to cook? Any family faves? I like baking so don't mind doing that...
Thanks for your help

i'm afraid i keep it simple - usually have a theme, and i have a huge stash of biscuit cutters, so: plates of sandwiches cut into shapes, crisps/twiglets\wotsits, iced homemade biscuits cut into shapes, stripy jelly. Birthday cake. IME kids don't each very much as they are too excited. And i don't bother with anything healthy either a)coz it's a party and b) i am not cleaning up squashed cherry tomatoes off the carpet. Having said that, at the last party i handed out small sports bottle of water to drink and no-one objected to the lack of fizz/colour/artificial whatevers.
