However I generally bring fresh fruit, fresh veggies, fruit snacks, and water. We have a lot of food restrictions and so do most of our friends so we all usually bring our own food. 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2637551 Sun, 16 Oct 2016 18:58:12 +0000 Anagram 2637551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, this is the first time I've seen suggestions for coffee for playdates (for moms), but then I realized that it's because I usually plan play dates in the afternoon and then we do wine or prosecco or something! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2637180 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 23:30:00 +0000 birdofafeather 2637180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee for mamas, fruit, string cheese, pirate's booty, apple sauce packets, popcorn (for older kiddos), veggie chips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2637166 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 22:07:17 +0000 youboots 2637166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2637155 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 21:03:53 +0000 nana87 2637155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning a playdate for lo's daycare class next week and was planning on having bagels and cream cheese (it's a morning gathering), cut fruit, cheese cubes, chips and guac, coffee and milk and sugar, water, apple cider </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2637153 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 20:56:04 +0000 MrsSRS 2637153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pirate's booty, string cheese, apples. But mostly because our friends have allergies and I know those are safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2636838 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 10:36:12 +0000 gingerbebe 2636838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diet Coke, water, and coffee.<br /> Water and milk for the kids in Take n Toss straw cups.</p> <p>Banana bread for moms, which is fine for kiddos to eat and isn't super messy if they want some.</p> <p>For kids, I'd do animal crackers, Goldfish, and neat fruit, like clementines, grapes, or blueberries, or dried fruit. If they need a more substantial snack, then yogurt pouches or GoGurts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2636766 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 08:42:31 +0000 Anagram 2636766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do some berries (easy for kids to pick up) and maybe some hummus and those dried pea snacks. Or avocado dip with pita chips.</p> <p>Last night, we actually had a "dinner date" with one of my mommy friends. We both have two kids and husbands who work lateish---together, we made crab cakes, broccoli, avocado, and herbed new potatoes and served that to the kids. The mommies also had champagne, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2636763 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 08:38:37 +0000 caterw 2636763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to do fruit, hummus and veggies, and mini muffins or little sandwiches (basically the same set up as PinkElephant) but minus the cheese since several of DD's friends have a dairy allergy. I usually have some sort of special drink for the kiddos if their moms let them have stuff like that (hot chocolate made with non-dairy milk or lemonade are big hits) and coffee and potentially mimosas for the mommies. Our playdates tend to run into lunch so I want to make sure that we have something that is substantial enough for a meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2636732 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 07:59:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 2636732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @PinkElephant: Basically cheese and crackers and some fruit of some sort. Sometimes hummus (especially when I had a couple friends on mspi diets). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2636729 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 07:56:16 +0000 PinkElephant 2636729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cut fruit, cheese, and some kind of carb - like muffins, bagels, or coffee cake. Stuff that works for both moms and kids and is easy to pick st in small bites. If there are little babies, I have puffs or Cheerios as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-date-snacks#post-2636595 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 06:45:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2636595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you usually set out/bring? In the past I've generally done nothing because we are hanging out with family or extremely close friends. Today is the first time we're having an in-home play date with new friends and I'd like to have an arsenal of ideas for next time! </p>
