Super Treats: MYO Party Mix and MYO Cupcake Station

When planning your next children’s party, think of fun and creative activities that the kids can do to occupy their time while at the event.  I have created two great activities that can be incorporated into any party for children and adults of all ages: an MYO Party Mix Station and an MYO Cupcake Station.

MYO Party Mix Station

Gather your favorite dried food items and place them into separate bowls with small scoopers in each.  Using the same exclamation bursts that we used for the table centerpieces, you can make double sided labels to show your guests what is in each bowl.  Using a marshmallow and a wooden skewer, attach the burst to the stick with glue or double sided tape and stick the skewer into the marshmallow.  Place the marshmallow with the skewer attached into the bowl and fill with the appropriate food item.

The food items I used were:

• Cheerios
• Popcorn
• Pretzels
• Dried Fruit – strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, cranberries, etc
• White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate covered pretzels
• Yogurt Raisins and Golden Raisins
• Nuts – peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans
• Plain and Peanut M&M’s

MYO Cupcake Station

Another great food activity is a MYO Cupcake Station.  This allows each guest to customize their own delicious dessert.  You can purchase cupcakes from your local bakery that have been iced (make sure that they are not already decorated with sprinkles, gel, etc) or you can make them using your favorite cake mix.  Display the cupcakes on a separate table with the toppings in small separate bowls and use pastry bags with colored frosting or gels.

The toppings I used were:

• Chocolate and Colored Sprinkles
• Peanut Butter Cups
• Snickers
• Colored Icing Gels
• Cookie Pieces
• Chocolate Crunchies

Children and Adults of ALL ages will love this activity! Even more so, they will love to eat their art project!
