A Colorful Fruit & Juice Bar for Kids

Thank you Capri Sun for sponsoring this post. You can find Capri Sun All Natural Ingredient and No Sugar Added* products at most grocery retailers nationwide, including local grocery stores, mass merchandisers and club stores.

If you've been following the blog for a while you'd have noticed how much I love a good drinks station. Be it for a kids party or grown up event, a drink station or self-service bar is such a fun and relaxed way of entertaining a crowd!

And for a kids party or to entertain the kiddos at family events, there's nothing better than a tasty fruit and juice bar!

You can make the decor and styling of your drinks station as fancy as you wish to match the event or celebration. But it remains a fun and easy way for the party hostess to ensure the guests have plenty of drinks on hand, and it's also a fun way for guests to mingle. So it's fun all 'round as you can see! :)

Even more so for kids' parties! Take a look at this cool fruit and juice bar, for instance - It's a fun, easy put together, mega colorful AND stress-free way to get kids to serve themselves at any party.

And because it's winter here in the northern hemisphere, we all need a little color to jazz up our parties, right? So don't be shy, and put those bright decorations to good use to create an inviting drinks station!

My own kids love having any buffet style food. It simply adds the fun factor to any meal! And this fruit and juice bar makes an appearance for any birthday party, play date or family event I host.

DIY Fruit & Juice Drinks Station

Drinks Station Styling

I made the drinks station really kid-friendly so the kiddos feel they have a special place all of their own, where they can choose their favorite fruit cups and juices to go with it. It's a pick and mix kind of deal, and they just seem to love it!

I used rainbow colored decor and printables to match our bar color palette, and create an exciting and inviting little corner just for the kids. These decorations are super simple to make, and even the kiddos can give you a hand before the party starts!

Having disposable glassware, little treat picks decorated with printable fruit tags, colorful plates, and serving the fruit pieces in cute baking cups is also a great way to know kids can be kids, without any worries of breaking or spilling anything.

The Fruit & Drinks

For the juices, I love using CAPRI SUN’s four new drinks with all-natural ingredients and no added sugar* for their practical, convenient packaging and tasty flavors that my kids love!

CAPRI SUN is a brand that continues to innovate and listen to consumers, and knows that parents want to feel good about what they give their kids to eat and drink. That’s the main reason CAPRI SUN created four products with All Natural Ingredients and No Added Sugar*, and why their products have never contained artificial preservatives, colors or flavors – to give parents options with ingredients that fit their preferences.

For drinks we served:

NEW CAPRI SUN Fruit Refreshers: A convenient beverage made with a simple combination of all-natural fruit juice and filtered water that has an awesome taste kids love without the sugar that mom doesn’t want. Fruit Refreshers also have 50% less sugar than the average leading fruit juices.**

▪     CAPRI SUN Organic: Certified USDA Organic fruit drink blend aimed at helping parents strike the right balance between what their kids want to drink and what parents feel good about serving.

▪     CAPRI SUN 100% Juice: Served in the classic Capri Sun pouch, 100% Juice is a refreshing juice drink offering ¾ cup of fruit juice per pouch.

▪     CAPRI SUN Fruit & Veggie Blends: Previously known as Super V, Capri Sun Fruit & Veggie Blends is packed with yummy fruit and veggie juices, giving kids delicious fruit juice with ½ cup of fruit and veggie juice per pouch.

Made with All Natural ingredients, no added sugar* and no high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, these four new products from CAPRI SUN have the taste kids love, without the ingredients that parents don’t want in their kids’ drinks.
