I am going to do a kids fair on Saturday, April 21st and need to have something for the kids to do while at my booth, any suggestions on what I can do?
 
You can do the Quick stir picture with water and confetti in it and they can make it swirl3
 
You could set up a small table with play doh and put out the creative cutters...
 
Here is a recipe for non-toxic play-doh.... You can hand out the recipe to the parents!!!

CupcakesI always make cupcakes because they are cheap but kids love them. I would suggest you bake a whole bunch of them and let the kids use the decorator bottle set to do a little design with frosting on top and take it with them.
Have plenty of napkins. It should be fun!!

Another idea, use the mini muffin pan and make them. You can get a boat load more out of a box of cake mix.
 
The kids also love to use the food chopper. Have them chop some m & m's or oreos for your cupcakes.

My thoughts exactly! :)

You can use the small spreader then to help decorate...just make sure you bring a box of baby wipes with for all the messy hands! :)
 
I am also doing a kids event ... "Healthy Kids Day" at our local YMCA. I plan on using

- Jelly sandwiches the cut n' seal for (no peanut butter for allergy reasons)
- Celery (cut with safe cutter) with whipped cream cheese (decorator bottle) option of adding raisins.
- mini bagels with whipped cream cheese (decorator botle again) spread with small spreader
- Berries and Cream wonton cup (EAD, sugar shaker, egg slicer)
- Homemade playdough (as others mention w/bakers roller, garlic press, creative cutters

I also plan on having out the Kids cookbook, food chopper, bamboo tongs, quick stir pitcher - I'm sure other things I'll think of

Since it is a Y, unfortunately, I have to provide the ingredients but I'm really hoping to take a few orders or maybe get a booking. If not, I'll chalk it up to community support and enjoy the day. The families have to sign up for a "session" which will be about 20min so it will be limited food - I won't have food for the whole 5 hours. I'm looking for other ideas so hopefully others will chime in too!

I have to have something for the 4 hours that I will be there, people just walk through the whole time. I took my kids last year and it was like a rat race trying to walk in the building.
 
I like the APCS with granny smith apples. Then sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar. It's a healthy snack and you can buy the apples in bags cheap.
