a tropical fruit platter will be a hit - and you can do similar with this as you're talking about with your salad - any design you want! we had a fruit platter on Christmas day (rock melon, water melon, pineapple, grapes, strawberries, cherries) and it went down a hit - was gone within half an hour (with only three kids, and three adults picking at it!)

kids love fairy bread at a party

popcorn isn't bad if you have air popped not the icing sugar one

fruit juice icy poles for a treat

ummmmm, can't think now! my bro almost always does all cold food for his kids parties - but i've run a blank on what they have!
