Why We Like This Product – Reviewed by the YPC Team
We tried these food picks during our Halloween activity week at YPC, and they were an instant hit. We used them in cupcakes, fruit platters, and even mocktails – the ghost and bat ones went first! What really impressed us was the build quality – they’re not flimsy like some party picks. Plus, because they’re plastic, we gave them a quick wash and reused them for another event. Great for reducing waste and costs.
We also loved how kid-friendly they are. The edges are smooth, the shapes are recognisable but not too scary, and they’re lightweight for small hands to use.

We love Halloween so much that we have themed our kids' party rooms at our Outdoor Activity Park. Our favourite room is our "Walking Dead" themed Zombie Party Room.
But we also run events as well as sell Halloween products.
Why not try our "Zombie Uprising " event? You play the part of a special forces operative with missions to save the world from a Zombie Horde, but with real actors running around the map, dressed as Zombies, they will do all they can to stop you.
