New Year’s Eve Activities with Kids
Here are some great last minute ideas – check it out!
1. Dress up. It doesn’t matter if you are sitting in your living room. Put on your fancy dress, dress the baby up in frills or a bow tie, and have a celebration. Even if it’s only for an hour—make that hour count.
2. Decorate with some sparkle! Babies and toddlers love shiny objects (grown-ups do too!). Christmas lights, glittery paper shapes and silver and gold streamers will make your at-home celebration stylish and small-child friendly.
3. Make party hats. Find some glittery paper and fashion tiaras or cone shaped hats—they will make perfect photo ops with your dress up clothes.
4. Have noisemakers on hand. You can easily make a few of these by putting pennies in rinsed soda cans wrapped in colorful paper or by putting beads in empty water bottles. Seal them well, and watch the babies enjoy!
