I agree with Alison.
Offer her some recipes, maybe even offer some catalogs and tell her she could do a catalog party with the parents as they are dropping off/picking up their kids. She might even have higher sales if she uses some PC recipes. For you to go and do a party for 5 year olds seems a bit silly to me. I think the kids would be really bored.

Depends on what she is looking for. I say go for it if the parents will be staying. Instead of cooking, let the kids play. Set up stations with different products & non food items.
playdough - baker's roller, creative cutters, my safe cutter, etc.
water & glitter in qsp
colored rice (add small amt. of food coloring to dried rice & shake to coat)- measuring cups, spoons, colander/bowl set, etc.
OR...have everyone make their own ice cream sundae (I used to do this at kid's night @ Chick-fil-a- the kids loved it)
ice cream dipper
food chopper - oreos
ead - cool whip
small bowl & caddy, small bamboo spoon - sprinkles & nuts
my safe cutter - bananas
sweet sprinkles
prep bowl, tongs - cherries
dcgrater - choc. chips
Each child can receive a prep bowl filled with M&M's & my safe cutter in treat bag with mini catalog (for mom).

Choosing a popular theme can attract more guests and create excitement. Consider themes like "Superheroes," "Princesses," "Dinosaurs," or "Space Adventure."

This not only engages the kids but also showcases the versatility of the products to parents, potentially leading to sales.

What activities can keep kids entertained during the birthday party?
