Happy New Year


Celebrating!Having a party! Fun times and kiddos love them just as much as we adults do. In this post I have included many ideas to use in planning for young children who are hanging around waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square.  For instructions of all projects pictured here and more New Years celebration ideas take a look at my New Years/Epiphany Pinterest Board Link that is posted at the bottom of the page. Happy Planning! Happy Celebrating! Happy New Year!


Party Hats!  I love this paper bowl idea for the little ones.


Photo Both Props. This is one of my favorites. Super easy to create. Insert a party horn and you have the makings for great fun and really cute photos. Link is on the Pinterest Board listed below.


Use glow sticks for indoor/outdoor games.


Offer a craft table with easy, quick activities. Fireworks painting is always fun with toilet tissue rolls. Add a sprinkling of glitter before the paint dries.


Balloon drop. Tape off or tie a plastic tablecloth to the ceiling allowing it to sag so balloons can be placed inside. Hang streamers underneath for decoration.



Balloon pop count down.


Sparkler fun photos. The link for camera settings can be found on the Pinterest board posted at the bottom of this page.


Sparkler Safety. The solo cup works well for the little ones who want to enjoy sparkler fun.


Snow cabin making. Find some discounted gingerbread house making kits and turn them into snow cabins using different sizes of pretzels.




Family Time Capsule. Click HERE for the instructions.


For all of these activities and more, visit the NewYears /Epiphany  Pinterest Board





Ring in the New year with prayer.
Dear God, thank you that it is the beginning of a new year. It is the beginning of an exciting new adventure. Give me courage and strength to do your will, because I can not do it alone. Thank you of  your promise to be with me and guide me everyday. Amen!
