11 Fun NYE Recipes the Kids Can Make

December 23, 2016

Are you planning a New Year’s Eve party or picnic? We love to take the kids down to the Sydney Harbour foreshore to watch the early fireworks show. To get a good spot we make our way over after lunch on new year’s eve, so a yummy dinner picnic is the order of the day. I like to include some fun NYE-themed food to make our wait a true occasion.

Get the kids involved and have them make a bunch of these fun NYE recipes. The great part is many of these can be whipped up in advance, so you’ll be able to keep the little ones busy all day. These treats are perfect for taking to a friend’s, enjoying after a picnic or serving guests at your NYE party.
