Food ideas for a garden playdate

[Jdf86]

Not hosted for a while. There will be 3 year olds and a few babies (weaned). Anything I can make in advance? Don't think I could leave my kids for long to cook...separation anxiety is all the rage!

Fruit, bread sticks, sandwiches, crudités, ice cream, crackers, cut up pitta bread - I'd just basically do loads of what you'd normally give your dc as snacks

Some little sandwiches, some fruit and veg cut up, mini breadsticks/Pom bears, petit filous pouches (I'm thinking Aldi ones at 79p for 4)

Either that OR

Suggest a teddy bears picnic and everyone takes a packed lunch and their favourite teddy with them.

For the parents, I’d do a quiche or pesto pasta salad www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pesto_pasta_salad_72323

For the little ones, I’d do cheese muffins, fruit and ice lollies realfood.tesco.com/recipes/cheesy-courgette-muffins.html
