- Make Some Noise!
To make our own homemade noise makers to ring in the new year! You could also use rice, marbles, any small hard object you have lying around.
- Homemade Party Hats
I love the monster face ones. You just need some construction paper - or any stiff paper, glue/tape/stapler, scissors, crayons/markers, ribbon, glitter - whatever you want to use to decorate you hats!
- Kid-Appropriate Bubbly
- A Family Flick
We love to pile up pillows and blankets on the floor and watch a movie as a family while eating popcorn...okay, so we've only done it once, but we loved it! And we will be doing it again. It's a special treat for Little Miss because we really don't watch all that much TV, let alone a full length movie. So it will be something special for us to do on New Year's Eve.
I'm leaning towards Despicable Me - since none of us have seen it - but I need input. Is it appropriate for a 2 1/2 yr old little girl who takes everything literally? Example: we can't let her watch Toy Story 3 because of the scary toys...
What are you doing with your kids on New Year's? Or are you and your hubby flying solo?
I won't be staying up til midnight either, LOL.
ReplyDeleteWe took our kids (5 and almost 2) to see Dispicible Me in the theater. They both liked it, and I cannot remember there being anything that scared them. (we watched Toy Story 3 in the theater too, and I thought it was too scarey too).
other suggestions (that my kids LOVE): Horton Hears a Who, Bolt, and Backyardigains Tale of the Mighty Knights.
