Ocean-themed party food
Planning an ocean-themed party? Here are some ideas for making some simple but fun Sea-Food 🐠
🐟 Fish-Shaped Sandwiches
Use fish-shaped cookie cutters to create sandwiches filled with kid-friendly ingredients like peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, or cream cheese and cucumber. You can also add a few drops of blue food coloring to the cream cheese for a more ocean-like appearance.
🦑 Octopus Hot Dogs
Slice hot dogs into strips lengthwise, leaving the top portion intact. Then, boil or grill them until the strips curl up like octopus tentacles. Serve them on a bed of seaweed (lettuce) with eyes made from small pieces of olives or cheese.
🐚 Seashell Pasta Salad
Cook pasta shells according to package instructions and toss them with a colorful array of diced vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. Dress the salad with a light vinaigrette and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for a touch of the sea.
🪼 Underwater Jello Cups
Prepare blue Jello according to package instructions and pour it into individual cups. Once set, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream and a few gummy fish or sharks for a whimsical underwater scene.
🪸 Coral Reef Fruit Platter
Arrange an assortment of fresh fruits like grapes, strawberries, pineapple chunks, and melon balls on a platter to resemble a coral reef. Add some blueberries or blackberries around the edges to mimic the deep ocean waters.
🍹 Ocean Blue Lemonade
Serve up a refreshing batch of blue lemonade by mixing lemonade with blue sports drink or blue food coloring. Add some lemon slices and ice cubes shaped like fish or sea creatures for extra flair.
🧜🏻♀️ Mermaid Tail Cupcakes
Bake cupcakes and decorate them with blue frosting to represent the ocean. Then, add a mermaid tail made from fondant or candy topper on each cupcake to bring a touch of magic to the party.
🌱 Seaweed Wraps
Roll up tortillas with a variety of fillings such as cream cheese, deli meat, and veggies to create seaweed wraps. Slice them into bite-sized pieces and secure with toothpicks for easy snacking.
🧊 Icey Poles
A bucket of icey-poles with water and ice to keep them cool - with little sea creatures bobbing about. Extra marks if the ice blocks are blue!
