We had a winter themed party for the tots at church. The food was to be wintery too. So I chose to do a veggie platter with cream cheese penguins. You can find tutorials on these little guys all over the internet. They are easy, yummy and cute as can be!
I actually have to give a shout out to my cousin Ginger....she made these for the holidays and posted pictures on Facebook. I knew I had to make them for the kiddo's party when I saw her pictures! Oh, and the kids did love them! Nolan ate a bunch of them. He had never had cream cheese before and he was definitely liking it!
I put the tray together there and then walked it to the table...big mistake. I lost a couple carrot trees.
The poor penguins didn't fare well and most of them ended up leaning on other penguins. The directions called for toothpicks in the penguins, but with feeding children from 1 to 5, I thought it was better to leave them out. Oh, my trees also went dry on me.
Check out that snowman cheese ball(s). Talk about yummy! I could have ate the whole thing but I didn't want the other moms to thing I was piggy.
Here's another shot of the food table. My mom decorated it and it was darling! Everyone's food came out so nice...wish my penguin vegetable tray hadn't turned out so mediocre. Cute idea but in true Ashley fashion, I was hurrying and it didn't come together the way I wanted it to.
Here's Nolan when we got home. He slept on the floor in the living room for two hours. He was just partied out!
