When preparing children's holidays, it is better to try to get away from the standard Olivier and herring under a fur coat on the table. If the guests are more than 3 years old, then they will undoubtedly be interested in serving the dish: it is better to focus on an interesting appearance. Do not be afraid that because of the decoration of dishes, preparation for the holiday will take you a lot of time. These are children, they will not sit at the table for several hours, so it is enough for them to cook meat or even pizza, a couple of light salads, a fruit dessert and, of course, cakes or a cake. It is better to pay special attention to entertainment. By the way, it would be nice if a specially invited animator takes care of this.

If you're worried about your guests not going hungry, then kids' birthday salad should be nutritious. For example, the dish "Hedgehog" will not leave indifferent any child, everyone will want to know what this animal is made of. And to create it, you will need chopped carrots, potatoes, chicken, cucumbers, onions, cheese, eggs, olives and mayonnaise. When laying out layers, do not forget about giving the salad the desired shape: the first layer- boiled potatoes cut into small cubes (it is better to boil the tubers in their uniforms), then - fried onions, chicken fillet, cucumbers, and only after them mayonnaise. The salad is sprinkled with cheese on top, the body of the hedgehog is covered with carrots. With the help of olives, the eyes and nose of the animal are made. It turned out to be a rather original salad for children for their birthday. By the way, for greater effect, the back of the hedgehog can be decorated with mushrooms. If you do not approve of the use of mayonnaise for cooking children's dishes, you can safely replace it with lightly s alted fat sour cream.

According to the same recipe, you can make the head of a tiger, and indeed any animal, the main thing is to give the dish the necessary shape and decorate it correctly. So, everything is clear with the salad. Separately, you can serve everyone's favorite deep-fried potatoes or mashed potatoes if you adhere to the principles of a he althy diet. Don't forget to prepare and capture the fruit salad for the kids. Many parents will surely want to see a photo of such an interesting colorful dish. For its preparation, you can use any fruit: apples and kiwi, oranges and bananas, peaches and grapes, mango and melon, strawberries and pineapple. Cut prepared fruits into cubes, mix and pour over yogurt or whipped cream. Remember, the most important thing in preparing such a dish as a salad for children on their birthday is decoration. Any dish, be it meat or dessert, will be much tastier if it is beautifully and interestingly decorated.

If you have"summer" birthday, you can cook a whole fruit basket in a melon or watermelon, and at other times of the year you can use a large pineapple. True, not everyone can serve this dish beautifully the first time, so if possible, practice. And we decorate salads for children, made in the form of fruit baskets, like this: for example, you can string grapes on the handle of the basket with the help of toothpicks, make beads from clusters of mountain ash or viburnum, add figures of animals. By the way, you can either cut them out of vegetables yourself or buy them ready-made. In the latter case, do not forget to warn guests that the animals are inedible.

If your baby is already confidently managing his hands, then get ready for the holiday together. Since you're making a salad for your kids' birthday, give the future birthday boy the opportunity to decorate the dessert however he likes. Perhaps he will do something not quite perfect, but the child will be happy from the realization that he took an active part in preparing for the celebration.
