Does your New Year’s Eve party involves kiddos? We thought about trying a Noon Year’s party – where you count down to noon instead of midnight for Bubbles tomorrow instead of staying up for the ball drop tonight, but then we laughed. Bubbles is getting better, but she still doesn’t ever go to bed much before midnight.
Here is a list of 15 kid friendly recipes for appetizers and other tasty treats to make your spread a smash hit. Most of them are bite-sized or have a fun theme – some even work great as party favors. And they all look delicious!
