Prepare food items for a SpongeBob themed party based on the foods on the cartoon show, featuring foods from the sea. These aren't your classic seafood dishes, though. Making them will allow you to use your own creativity to present some of the unusual dishes featured on the cartoon. Does this Spark an idea?
SpongeBob Fruit Salad
This is a traditional fruit salad, but served the same way characters serve it on the SpongeBob show. Hollow out the bottom of a pineapple and place the fruit salad in it. Include fruits such as watermelon, cantelope, grapes, cherries and strawberries. Place a pineapple fruit salad holder on each table so the children can help themselves while waiting for appetizers and entrees.
Baked Worms
Okay, don't worry, these aren't really worms. Instead they are hot dogs sliced sideways into strips with strips of cheese wrapped around them. Use a can of prepared croissants and unwrap the croissants and wrap the dough around the hot dogs and cheese and bake. This will provide a finger food for the children to enjoy while waiting for their entrees.
Seafood
Take the term seafood loosely with these items that make up the entrees for the party. On the cartoon, one of the staple foods that shows up are crabby patties. These are small hamburgers made out of crab. Instead of using crab, since it could get expensive and might not be a hit with the kids, serve them small hamburgers known as sliders. Another food item to serve which actually is seafood would be fish sticks.
Dessert
Serve the kids some worms for dessert--gummy worms to be exact. Make a large bowl of jello. Before it sets, add a large amount of gummy worms into the bowl and place it into the refrigerator. As an added item, you could include gummy fish, so the children can enjoy worms and fish for dessert, just like SpongeBob and his friends do on the cartoon.
