Which restaurants provide fun foods for kids?

[Amaris]

Specifically deserts they create...
We ate at the Wilderness Lodge last time and they had cookies and "paint" and painted their own cookies. I saw on a Food Network show recently, other restaurants have lots of neat desserts , they just bring the "parts" to the kids, and the kids put them together! Any tips on where these are and which restaurants offer what would be apprecaited! Thanks

Jiko does a kid's puzzle made from white chocolate and served with a scoop of ice cream. You put the puzzle pieces together to make a picture.

Liberty Tree Tavern has a rice crispy treat that you decorate with white icing and colored jelly beans and candies to make an American flag.

There were great kid's desserts at Shutter's and Kona--but not of the variety where the kids get to "make something artistic".

Don't know about desserts you create, but here's what we found:

When our waitress was taking us to our table at Citrico's, she took my (then 3yo) ds over to the open kitchen and showed him a dessert with a picture of one of the dalmatians drawn in chocolate on the plate. I have a vague memory that the dessert in question was like a bone-shaped cream puff or something like that. I remember my kids getting dalmatian icecream for dessert there (chocolate chip spots). We also had the usual mickey mac 'n cheese (anyone else's kids live on this stuff at WDW?) both there and at the Brown Derby.

At BD, we had fantasmic desserts which came with a blue edible sorcerer's hat (eaten by my 2yo) and a chocolate sorcerer's hat. (On a TMI note, don't ask about my 2yo's diapers after eating that blue hat!!).

Another poster here posted some great photos of the kids sushi dessert (gummi sweets rolled in cereal) at California Grill.

If your kids are really into stuff like this, why not enroll them in the Grand Adventures in cooking at the GF? They do some neat cookie decorating and stuff there.

LOL. A little off track, but if your 2yo's diaper was anything like mine after the Blues Clues blue applesauce, I know exactly what you mean!

As to the OP, I too am curious, since DD4 watched the Unwrapped special with us one day and she would love to create her own dessert.

Chef mickey's does a great dinner desert package....
everything is brought to you in pieces...
and the kids can but it together...
the dishes include...a flying saucer, butterfly, oreo cake sundae, socerer mickey brownie sundae, paintable mickey cookies, and some bugs (the pretty kind)....
the kids can make a mess or a masterpiece...and its the only time they can really play with thier food!
I'm sure it will be sure the special will show again...

The Garden Grill also allows you to decorate cookies...its alot of fun...

You guys have to watch the disney special on the food network...its really great!

The playdough peanut butter at the coral reef is really cool. they give the kids all kinds of things like pretzels and chocolate chips to work with. Ds was younger when he had this but he really did not eat much of it, but I remember that it tasted really good too.

Here's two more:

At Prime Time Cafe, the kids' sundae is one scoop of ice cream served in a bowl surrounded by little containers of toppings. The kid decides which ones he/she wants and dumps them on himself. I can't remember everything that was there, but there were at least six. My son really likes marschino cherries and asked for more -- he got an entire bowl full!

At Restaurant Akershus in Norway, there is a large troll cookie that you paint with edible paints.
