Love these ideas! We did the glow stick dance party last year and it was a huge hit. Can’t wait to try out some of the other activities this year!
I loved your ideas for a New Year’s Eve party for kids! My last minuet attempt at a kid friendly NYE party was a bit of a disaster, but your suggestions are so creative and fun, I’m sure it’ll be a hit this year! My kids are especially excited to make their own noisemakers and play with the glow sticks. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this great idea. I’m sure everyone will like it.
Forget the kids–I’m going to make some of these myself! I love the gold-dipped balloons–we’re having an Oscars-themed party soon, so I know what I’ll be making 😉 happy new year!
