NEW YEARS EVE WITH KIDS

Well it's here, the New Year and again we are opting to stay at home.

so here's what we are doing this year, a little late for you to pull together (I am sorry)

but you can do it next year!!!

HAVE A FUN STAY AT HOME FAMILY NEW YEARS EVE



Being a single mum, we say at home for New Years,

this doesn't mean we don't have fun mind.

We get our Pj's on and get comfy,

we play board games, watch a holiday movie

and have a special New Years supper (yes in Pj's)

and this year an addition of a  home made confetti (sprinkles) cake like this.

Then at the stroke of midnight we bring in the New Year with a Bang!

 If you can’t get out to watch the fireworks, like us, make your own!

Visit a local party store to buy party blowers and streamers

A fun and easy DIY project for your New Years party is creating handmade confetti!

Items from around your house such as tinsel from the Christmas tree, or tissue paper ,

are perfect for use on your festive toss station.

from Elizabeth anne designs

or

punched tissue paper

You could also make homemade blowers as a daytime activity

Instructions here and they are easy than you may think.

And don't forget the party hats

design sponge

I love this (and would be so easy to make with and elastic hairband),

But my 9 yr old son would not LOL

so here's a couple of hats for him

from here

and here

which both give instructions on how to make them.

Then once midnight strikes let your kids let loose as they celebrate the first moments of the New Year.

BRING YOU ALL YOU WISH FOR YOURSELF
