Choose crispbread you can try with your planned toppings, then divide it into small portions just before serving. For a children's party, allergens and portion size matter more than an unverified claim such as ‘thick cut’: the product information discussed here does not tell you which slice is thicker or can hold more topping. Ask about allergies and dietary requirements in advance, and check the label on the pack you buy.
