List of vegan foods for school parties (nut-free)

With the help of the wonderful parents at the facebook group How Vegan Children Thrive, I came up with this list of vegan nut-free party foods. In other words foods that are good for school parties, as nuts are now banned at most grade-schools and preschools.

*Foods that are starred may not be appropriate for children below a certain age, especially below age 4 due to the risk of choking.
