I enjoy seeing their eyes light up with excitement. OK, so I admittedly went overboard a bit but setting up a party of any kind much less one that gets children excited is sort of my jam. Silly string if you're not able to go outside with sparklersĬup Cake Ice Cream Cones Surrounded by Gumballs:.Firecrackers or fireworks if age appropriate and legal within your state and county.Photo booth props (even if you don't have a photo booth, just the props make taking pictures fun!).I purchased a white photo box so that they could decorate the outside of it with permanent markers. I actually made one with them that evening but didn't take a picture of it. The children can put pictures, meaningful trinkets, or pictures of their favorite things into the time capsule to open one day that YOU decide (like 10 years later or something). You can add the "about me" to a family time capsule for that year.I've included 3 links with different versions. Fill out an "about me" for that year so they'll always remember the little things that made them who they were at this particular age.You can fill the bags with whatever you want of course, but there's some great New Year's themed things you can use as well like: The idea is that on each hour the children get to open that specific goodie bag.

They too want to be included in the fun!Ī couple of years ago my New Year's Eve was spent with a couple of children so I wanted to make the evening fun for them and find ways to get them involved and excited throughout the evening. It's important to remember that children also enjoy the holiday even though they may not yet tie in all of the sentimentality to it. There's always parties or gatherings of some sort and everyone has their own traditions for the evening. New Year's Eve can be an exciting time for adults as we reflect on the year that has passed, our accomplishments and failures, lessons learned and new goals to achieve in the coming year.
