Children's New Year's menu
When laying a children's New Year's table, you need to adhere to certain principles:
1.All meals for children on New Year must be freshly prepared, from fresh and useful products minimum content of dyes and chemical flavors. For salad dressing, use homemade mayonnaise, natural yogurt, low-fat sour cream or a mixture of vegetable oil with lemon juice. Do not give young children seafood delicacies, smoked sausage and other similar foods high in salt and artificial preservatives that can cause allergies.
Make homemade roll chicken breast or turkey fillet, aspic in portion molds, serve light baked vegetables as a side dish.
Instead of factory-made lemonades and Coca-Cola, put on a children's holiday table healthy drinks for children - natural fruit drink, homemade juice, fresh, dried or frozen fruit compote, smoothie or fruit juice.
Children's desserts - instead of a multi-layered cake with rich cream, prepare fruit and milk jellies, homemade ice cream, fruit salad co sour cream filling and nuts, a fruit plate, dessert sandwiches on skewers made from cubes of fruit and grapes with mild cheese.
2.Second important rule- All New Year's dishes for children should be beautifully decorated. Show your imagination when setting the table and serving dishes - lay a bright tablecloth with New Year's drawings, use plates with beautiful pattern, complete the table decor with multi-colored napkins and New Year's figurines.
Decorate the salad in the form of a symbol of the coming year - a Rooster, New Year's clock, a gift or a Christmas ball. You can simply arrange the salad in tartlets or portioned baskets. Make a dish "snack snowmen" from the cheese mass (grated crab sticks, processed or crayons grated hard cheese, sour cream, greens). Instead of the usual sandwiches, make a fruit snack on skewers.
As decorations, you can use figuratively chopped vegetables, pomegranate and cranberry berries, sprigs of fresh herbs and other ingredients included in the composition. New Year's salads and snacks.
3. When planning a children's New Year's menu, you should not chase quantity. For the company of children, two or three snacks, one hot dish and dessert are enough. Set the table in such a way that children can refresh themselves in between games and entertainment. Prepare drinks, pastries, fruits and desserts with a margin - small gourmets simply “sweep” portioned sweets from the table and empty an incredible number of glasses with refreshing drinks.
Useful advice - do not take the whole process of preparing for the New Year on yourself, actively involve children in New Year's chores. Joint preparation at home for the New Year, setting up a Christmas tree, setting the table, cooking and decorating dishes will deliver great amount positive emotions for all participants New Year's feast, regardless of age.

Children love holidays. But especially love New Year, because they believe that a miracle can happen on the night of December 31, so they often wait with their parents for the cherished chiming clock.
Very young children fall asleep on the evening of December 31 long before the start of the family celebration. But those who are older help their parents with enthusiasm and inspiration and can't wait for the New Year's feast.
So, it is necessary to make sure that at the “adult” holiday they have something to treat themselves to. After all, the dishes that are on the festive table of adults are not always suitable for baby food, and children are too capricious, not wanting to eat what their parents offer them. Moms constantly have to invent something and turn on their imagination in order to feed the kids not only tasty, but also healthy.
Despite the fun around and festive mood, children's diet Diet on December 31 should not be anything special. It must include breakfast, lunch and dinner, albeit later than usual.
New Year's Eve is different from the usual topics that it takes place at night. At this time of the day, it is difficult for our stomach to digest food. Nutritionists recommend the following New Year's table rules for children:
- Do not let your child sit at the table for three hours. Night gatherings should be purely symbolic for him. After the chiming clock, he clinks glasses of fruit drink with everyone, receives a gift and goes to bed. Before the feast on December 31, feed your child as usual: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- On the festive table should be the lightest dishes. Children should not be fed fatty varieties meat and fish, mayonnaise, fatty sour cream and cheese. Heavy, fatty meals are best eaten for lunch on the first days of the new year.
- No need to force the table with many different dishes. The child is advised to give no more than 3-4 meals, including drinks.
- Children's food should not include more than 3-4 ingredients. Then it is easy to digest.
- During a night feast, it is not advisable for a child to give chocolate, tea and other products that excite nervous system. Otherwise, then he will not be able to sleep, although he will get tired.
- It is not necessary to put bread on the table. Essential Vitamins and minerals the child will receive from other products. If desired, you can offer yeast-free bread instead of bread.
New Year's table decoration
If other kids came to visit you, it is worth organizing a separate children's table for the kids. It must be festively decorated with a beautiful tablecloth, bright napkins, give the dishes a festive look and put a little surprise under each plate. Indeed, in fact, it is not a feast that is important for a child, but an indescribable atmosphere of a miracle and a holiday.
The table should be placed in such a way that children can safely leave because of it. Also, it should be handy and easy to carry in case the kids need a place to play. Do not place fragile items and utensils on the children's table. You can use plastic or special paper plates and glasses.
What to cook for the New Year for children
