Playdate food question

DS is only 4 and we've been on a lot of play dates, but with moms I have gotten to know very well and have become friends.
Some moms put out so much food you'd think it was a party for only 2 or 3 kids and 3 moms. Another I've been to has put out some pretzels and hummus, which is perfectly fine too. Usually play dates only last hour to two hours depending. Sometimes before school a little longer and put the kids on the bus together so I will serve lunch.

What is your go to snacks and food you put out for play dates? Looking for more healthy and easy snack ideas to serve to everyone.

I've done mini bagels if it's lunch time
Fruit Salad
Goldfish
cookies
yogurt
Munchkins

I have to be careful what I serve because we have friends with food allergies so I usually ask the parents ahead of time and double check before I put anything out.

Re: Playdate food question

My DD is also 4 and almost all our playdates are at lunch time - right after school - I usually get mini bagels with cream cheese for the kids and water or juice and also have snacks on hand that I offer the kids (pretzels, veggie straws, cheese sticks, fruit, etc etc.). I also usually try to have a treat for them after the lunch like cake pops or mini cupcakes. I usually also get a tossed salad with grilled chicken and put that out for the mom/moms. I have it down to a science lol and the bagel delivery place recognizes my voice ha ha ha!
