Colour themed playdate platters 

Over the half term recently we have had lots of play dates with friends, where normally someone either provides us with food or we bring our own lunch boxes. But this half term we came up with a much more fun way to provide the food! 

Whilst scrolling through TikTok I found a new trend where people come to parties with a different platter, each with a colour theme of food! Most of these were aimed at adults, but I thought this could be something really fun for our children to get involved in! 

So we got together with some friends and all the children chose a colour each. My daughter chose white, which I was initially a bit nervous about, but actually, she came up with most of the foods herself! 

All of our children absolutely loved this activity! They had to really be creative about what foods they could have and they were so excited to see what everyone else had on their boards. It made our play date extra fun and we got the bonus of getting lots of yummy food to eat too! I would definitely recommend doing this with family and friends, especially if you have children. 

Some good ideas that my children came up with for different colours were:

White
Marshmallows
White chocolate
Prawn crackers 
Cream cheese sandwiches 
Popcorn 

Red
Strawberries 
Raspberries
Tomatoes 
Jam on toast 
Peppers 

Orange
Carrot sticks 
Cheesy crisps 
Oranges
Peppers 
Orange skittles 

Brown 
Chocolate bars 
Sausages 
Breaded chicken 
Chocolate cake 
Cola bottle sweets 

Purple
Beetroot crisps 
Purple grapes 
Purple bear roll-ups
Purple party rings
Ham 

Green
Apples
Grapes 
Celery 
Broccoli 
Sugar snap peas
