Halloween is so fun!! I love the costumes and creativity that come along with celebrating this holiday. I also love sharing ideas for throwing Halloween parties for kids, and I know you are going to love this one. It is a “foodtivity” party where the kids do a food activity and can eat their extraordinary creations! It is fun for all ages, from preschoolers to teens, and really lets the kids use their imaginations. I’ll show you our party so you can recreate it at your home with your family and friends!
You will need all kids of colorful and interesting-shaped foods for the kids to use to decorate their quesadillas. The tortillas with melted cheese can be the faces of pumpkins or monsters or animals… anything at all that is Halloween-related.
You will need:
- medium sized tortillas
- finely shredded cheddar cheese
- Cheez-It® crackers
- Pringles® Original potato crisps
- a variety of colors of small heirloom tomatoes
- baby spinach leaves
- carrot sticks
- sugar snap peas
- kidney beans
- anything else you think of
What to do:
Set all your ingredients out on small plates and bowls that can be passed around or shared by everyone.
STEP 1.) Put a tortilla on a plate and cover with a layer of shredded cheese thick enough that the tortilla does not show through.
STEP 2.) Put into the microwave for about 60 seconds. (all microwaves cook differently so watch the cheese to ensure it does not get overcooked.)
STEP 3.) Start decorating!!
TIP: Open the sugar snap peas and take out the peas inside to use for decorating like I did in the one above on the mouth along with the Cheez-It crackers.
Have a fabulously fun Halloween quesadilla decorating party!
Pin this for later. . .

That is a crazy fun idea. My oldest is 13 and refuses to go trick or treating this year, so this is a fun alternative for him on Halloween.

That looks fun to do and I know that my tween would love that. The food looks great and I know the kiddos would love quesadillas. Even when we don’t have Halloween or any parties it is the one food I can get them to eat without complaint.

The monster faced quesadilla looks really cute and a bit creepy. I don’t know if I can have the heart to eat such cute quesadillas.
