Method
step 1
Put the green card on a serving table – it will be hard to move the stadium once assembled, so set it up where you want to serve it. Paint or draw a border around the edges using paint or a paint pen, then paint or draw the halfway line, centre circle and penalty areas. Decorate with the cardboard goals and players or mini figures. (If you’re using chocolate footballs, you can also put one of these on the “pitch”.)
step 2
Cut the top flaps off the cardboard boxes so they’re open, then cut diagonally along the sides for a tiered effect – the front of the boxes should be 4-5cm in height (to sit against the pitch) and the back, 10cm. Arrange the boxes around the pitch.
step 3
Fill the boxes with the chocolate footballs, cheese cubes, grapes, carrots, cucumbers, celery, peppers, crisps, popcorn, and tomatoes, and serve alongside dips, if you like.
