Kikkerland Ant Party Picks
These ant-shaped party picks transform ordinary finger foods into conversation starters. Each set contains 20 individual picks designed to look like ants "carrying" your appetisers, adding a whimsical touch to garden parties, picnics, summer gatherings, or children's events. The playful design turns practical food serving into an entertaining visual element that guests notice and remember.
Made from PP (polypropylene) plastic, these picks are designed for multiple uses rather than single-party disposal. At 5.6cm in size, they're proportioned for standard party food portions like cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, olives, or cocktail sausages. The ant design provides both functional food-piercing capability and decorative appeal. Key features include:
- Set of 20 picks: Sufficient quantity for small to medium gatherings
- Novelty ant design: Creates visual interest and conversation
- Reusable construction: PP plastic designed for washing and repeat use
- Functional size: 5.6cm length suits standard party appetisers
- Themed entertainment: Perfect for garden parties, picnics, or outdoor events
This is designed for hosts who appreciate small details that elevate party presentation, families seeking child-friendly serving options, or anyone planning outdoor gatherings where the ant theme adds appropriate visual humour.
What Customers Ask About Ant Party Picks
Are these reusable or single-use?
Made from PP (polypropylene) plastic, these picks are designed to be reusable. Wash them after use and they can be used for multiple parties. Hand washing is typically better for prolonging the life of novelty picks like these.
Are they dishwasher safe?
We don't have specific dishwasher safety information from the manufacturer. PP plastic is generally dishwasher-safe, but novelty items with detailed shapes may be better hand washed to prevent damage.
Are they safe for children to use?
Like all party picks, these have pointed ends to pierce food. Supervise young children during use. They're suitable for children who can safely use standard cocktail sticks or party picks, typically around age 5 and up depending on the child's maturity.
How sharp are the picks?
Party picks need to be sharp enough to pierce food effectively but aren't as sharp as metal cocktail sticks. The PP plastic construction typically provides a functional point without the injury risk of metal alternatives. Handle with appropriate care when serving.
Can these stand upright on their own?
The ant design has legs that may allow the picks to stand, but stability depends on the food weight and surface.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash the picks in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Check each pick for any manufacturing defects or rough edges before serving food.
Using the picks: Insert the pointed end into your chosen food item. The ant design should appear to be "carrying" the food. Arrange on serving platters with the decorative side visible to guests.
Cleaning after use: Wash in warm soapy water, paying attention to the detailed ant design where food residue may collect. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the details and extend the life of the picks.
Storage: Store clean, dry picks in their original box or a container that protects them from dust. Keep away from heat sources that might warp the plastic.
Safety considerations: These picks have pointed ends necessary for piercing food. Supervise children during use. Count picks before and after parties to ensure none are accidentally discarded with food waste.
Avoid: Using with extremely hot foods that might warp the plastic. Leaving in dishwasher if the manufacturer hasn't confirmed dishwasher safety. Storing whilst damp, which may promote bacterial growth.
