We have lots of pool parties at our house. I am getting tired of wrappers and food messes everywhere. When you buy a bag of food and 10 people have put their hands in it, I can't bring myself to keep it. I started creating easy charcuterie board for kids and teens, and it has SAVED me.

First I pull out my board and place my bowls.

I fill the bowls with stuff that won't hold shape like trail mix, and candy

How to arrange a charcuterie board for kids and teens

Start filling in around the the bowl. Items like pretzels and goldfish that spread out I place in the center to contain them.

On your Charcuterie Board make sure it has an edge so you can push stuff up against it to help hold it's shape.

Hint: Make it good and full, stuff as much as you possibly can on there. It will look so much better.
