You could dish up anything. 2 year olds will be more interested in playing with each other then eating

I'd do:
~ marshmellows and fruit on toothpicks ~ fairy bread as suggested by dice4 ~ pink coloured custard squares ~ pink jelly cups (as in rasberry or strawberry) ~ lolly slice with lots of pink eskimo's
But I totally agree with ferita ... they'll be more into playing with each that thinking "WOW! mum went hard out to please me! " Hope you have a cool party :-D
PS:might not be healthy but hot chips and sauce always go down a treat with the littlies ;-)

Only thing I wouldn't have are the custard squares. Doubt kidlets would eat them or even know what they are.

My advice is to keep it simple. Many a happy party has been had with chips and dip, cheerios (with or without sauce), mandarins, sausage rolls, fairy bread, and the cake. As others have said the kids aren't there for the food. You will be surprised how many adults will eat the leftovers though. Egg sandwiches good too. You can tart it all up with presentation too which can be cheap. I was a Mum on a strict budget and the kids still had a great time. Balloons, streamers, coloured paper plates and music. Enjoy the time. You are in the business of making memories and that is free.

if you made tiny custard squares I think they'd like it noonesgirl (imo) but yeah, probs a bit fiddly eh? It's just they littlies are very tactile and like the soft kind of food ... only a thought anyway

I saw a teddy bears picnic cupcakes recipe somewhere It was cupcakes iced with green icing, flower sprinkles on the icing, a cocktail umbrella poked in and a tiny teddy biscuit on there.

They will be more excited about playing with her freinds and the fact that she is a big 2 year old now, just make sure there is good coffee for the adults! Have a great stress free day and enjoy it with your girl.

I went to all sort of trouble and found that cheerios and chips were the only things that were eaten. As said above, the kids get all excited and it is impossible to have them sit for more than seconds lol.

teddy bears... love that idea. Must make a note of these for "future" grandchildren (MUCH in the the future! ! ! ! ) I miss doing these party things.

Cut out small circles of puff pastry or other shapes. Overlap at the centre slightly, brush with egg wash, sprinkle sesame seeds, then place a whole or half a cheerio sausage in centre and grill till golden. Serve withtomato sauce spread over cheerio if like. The end productsupposed to look like a butterfly.

I have a "more is less" policy when it comes to the party menu.
My menu is: fairy bread, cherrios with tom sauce, popcorn (or chips) served with the cake.

Not sure if this is suitable for 2yos, but I remember my mum doing those oranges filled with jelly for my 5th birthday (and my 18th, lol). Halve the oranges, scoop 'em out, fill with jelly, cut again when set so you've got jelly quarter-oranges. Good fun :-)

buy some pkts of cheap biscuits and ice them with pink and lavnder icing and top with silver dots and choc sprinkles, hubbys gdaughter spent hours making hers here last holidays then spent hours deliberating over who was allowed to eat each certain design... .
