Tips and Ideas for the Party

  • Don't try to do too much- include one main dish and one dessert or no more than 3 dishes.

  • Depending on the number of children get an assistant or two to help with the party.

  • Have an adult cook the recipe in the oven or stove top and let the kids do the actual preparing. They may be old enough to use the oven or stove top but with all the party excitement you want to be extra cautious.

  • Make an easy chef hat for each child. This helps make the party atmosphere.

  • Buy a canvas apron that they can decorate with fabric paint. You can find plain or colored aprons in a package or if you are a sewer, sew an easy apron for each child.

  • While the party food is baking you can decorate aprons or play some kids cooking games. You will find some fun party games down below - cooking party games.

  • Prepare a recipe card with the recipe they are making. Make one for each child to look at while cooking or write the recipe out on a large chalkboard or paper hanging on the wall. You will need one for each child to take home but this is for looking at during the party.

Kids Cooking Invitation Ideas

  • Make your invitation on heavy paper shaped like a rolling pin, cooking pot or chefs hat and write down the party information. Check out our Kids Cooking Party Bundle that includes 12 different party invitation designs.

  • Give an actual mini rolling pin, mini whisk, wooden spoon or cookie cutter and tie a note with the party information.

Ideas for Goodie Bags

  • Include a copy of the recipe they are making so they can take it home and make it again.

  • Cookie cutters

  • Mini recipe album -use small photo albums. They make it easy to add a 4x6 paper or recipe card in the pockets.

  • Blank recipe cards. Download our free blank recipe cards. Print off as many as you would like on heavy paper or cardstock paper.

  • A kids apron and hat, either something they decorate themselves or buy already made. They can wear this at the party and take them home. This will be the kids favorite!

  • Muffin decorative baking cups/liners.
