RAINBOW THEME PARTY - FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEA FOR FOOD

Create a rainbow of colors using food. Here's a few ideas to help get you started:

RAINBOW FRUIT KABOBS - Slices of banana, kiwi, peach, watermelon (no seeds), cantaloupe, and strawberries.

RAINBOW MUNCHIES - Rainbow goldfish crackers, rainbow Pringles, and Rice Krispie treats made with Fruity Pebbles.

MACARONI & CHEESE - Make your favorite recipe and either leave it yellow or tint it a fun color of the rainbow.

RAINBOW BREAD SANDWICHES - Make your own bread and tint the dough using food coloring. You can make mini loaves so you can have several colors. Add peanut butter, and various colored jams and jellies. Then make mini sandwiches using two different colors. That way everyone will have opportunities to have multiple-colored sandwiches.

RAINBOW RICE KRISPIES - Make the Rice Krispie squares according to the package directions. Divide mixture into four bowls and add food coloring to each bowl and stir. Form the four mixtures into the stripes to create a rainbow shape. Serve with a dollop of frosting or whip cream for the clouds.

RAINBOW JELL-O - Place various colors of Jell-O into a mold or a clear bowl, letting it firm up in between layers. If you use the quick set method of making Jell-O, you will be able to accomplish this task in an afternoon.

RAINBOW JUICE - Give everyone a yellow drink like pineapple juice, lemonade, or Gatorade. Add blue ice cubes which consist of water with blue food coloring. Be sure to serve in clear cups. As the ice melts, their drinks will turn green!

RAINBOW CAKE - Make or buy a frosted sheet cake. Starting at the top of the cake and working down each side, lay a double row of Jelly Bellys, end to end, that are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. At the end of each side of your rainbow, create clouds by placing a mound of mini marshmallows.

RAINBOW-SHAPED CAKE - Bake round white cake. Cut in half to create 2 rainbow semi-circles. Spread white frosting between layers to hold together. Frost entire cake with white frosting. Draw out rainbow on top of cake and create rainbow colors with edible glitter. Right before serving, dollop Cool-Whip around bottom of rainbow to create a cloud.

RAINBOW CUPCAKES - Make or buy your favorite cupcake recipe and frost them white or light blue. Then top them each with a Rainbow Sugar Shape.
