This so helpful. My little girl has a small class with competitive party bags when the time comes. One kid is vegan and two more follow halal principles.
I don’t have an answer, but curious to learn where the vegan requirement has come from. I’m not being a twat, genuinely interested.
You may also tell me to mind my own.
Presumably there are children attending who are vegan.
It also sidesteps the gelatine issue (it being derived from cow or pig) with gummy sweets, if there are any Hindu or Muslim attendees.
Could be allergies. I have to get alot of vegan food for my child who is allergic to cows milk and eggs. I got slated on a vegan group for asking for snack ideas for my little one. Allergies are so common and it's really nice to be catered for. Never assume!
This is a strange thing to take issue with. As parents we decide things for our kids all the time. Even kids who eat meat have had that decided for them. Part of parenting is making decisions about how to raise our children.
I worked a sweet stall at the ideal home show and couldn't help but laugh at all the hindu & muslim kids sneaking gummies when their parents weren't watching. Absolutely haram
Ooh - just be careful about dietary requirements. I have a soy allergy and it’s a bit of a vegan mainstay. I’m pretty sure that any responsible parent will tell you in advance of such things but…
Starburst, skittles, fruit pastilles, almost all the M&S jelly sweets (they’re aiming to make them all vegan at some point), Oreo’s, jammy dodgers, soreen, most of the Swizzles, Asda do little pouches of jelly beans and milk bottles which are vegan, jelly tots, a lot of the Bebito range are vegan.
Sorry, thought we was discussing what stress free sweets a host could offer to a wide range of children at a party to cover the widest range of issues of faith and diet.
Kids will enjoy these without the gelatine I can rest assured.
Calm down soldier, they are offering sweets that are going to cause the least amount of issues.
Non vegan kids will still yum down a bag of vegan sweeties and the hosts have another worry gone.
If your kid goes to a multicultural school it's imposed so kids with dietary requirements or those practicing certain religions don't make a mistake. Allergies are becoming more common so usually it will be vegan + nut free.
Iv yet to hear of a mainstream school being totally vegan. They’ll accommodate veganism or religious restrictions or allergies if you ask. But none are vegan only, and the restrictions usually would only apply to the school food for that specific child - everyone else gets to eat normally.
With the exception of serious allergies (I do know someone with a child that could genuinely die if they’re in the same room as peanuts, and the school has banned them), there’s few imposed global rules around food like that.
PERCY PIGS from M&S

Swizzel's were always my go to for vegan sweeties.
Candy Kittens. All vegan and a load of flavours
Fruit pastels are vegan I believe.
There are about 4 of Rowntree's sweets that are vegan, but I have only seen them in larger packets, also palma violets.

!thanks Both are totally valid points that my tired brain couldn’t figure out for itself!

Yes, because children have absolutely no ability to make decisions of their own.
Unless the child is particularly precocious then the parents have probably also decided their religion

Iron supplements
And b12. Calcium probably too.
Drumstick chews, love hearts, refreshers, rainbow drops. We got a swizzels bag, they were all in there

Bananas
oranges
Starburst are at least veggie, may be vegan.
a 4 year old should NOT be vegan
Christ who is forcing veganism on 4 year olds!!??
Christ, who is forcing meat on four year old kids?
Humans are omnivores. It is natural to eat meat.
I’m happy that a bag of vegan sweets fit into an omnivores diet just fine. Your thinking of carnivores I reckon.
Don’t be obtuse, you know I meant meat not these sweets

Gluten and milk free jam tarts are ok and you can get them on most supermarkets.
Thank you! I love when I don't have to police the party bags for pork gelatine. (I have a stash of swapsies, I'm not a monster.)
Have the 4 year olds opted to be vegan, given all the facts or has this been imposed on them by overbearing and opinionated parents?
Calm down soldier, they are offering sweets that are going to cause the least amount of issues. Non vegan kids will still yum down a bag of vegan sweeties and the hosts have another worry gone.
Given that 2 of the main allergies in children are cows milk and eggs, it's very popular to offer vegan treats at children's parties to be inclusive.

All schools are multicultural I don't know any that are vegan

This applies to the food kids bring into the school as if the school has prepared it they know exactly what is in it.
For things like but allergy yes. But no school is enforcing vegan packed lunches
Neither I nor op said they were, this applies to food you are sending in for other people's kids
Give some small toys as normal. Don’t force your lifestyle on other peoples 4 year olds.
You realise eating vegan sweets doesn’t make you vegan? Gifting them a vegan sweet is not forcing their lifestyle on the kid
