I’ve never been a huge fan of going out on New Year’s Eve.  It always felt crowded and overpriced.  When I had kids, that thought was pretty much cemented and I’ve spent the last 13 years of my life at home doing various activities on New Year’s Eve.  I love sharing my creativity with my kids, and NYE is no exception.  Here are a few of the kids’ favorite activities. 

Remember New Year’s Eve is about who you are with-not where you are.  Making these memories with your family will stay with them forever. 

 

NYE BALLOON POP ACTIVITY

Supplies:

Balloons (filled with helium or blown up on your own)

12 activities written on small slips of paper. 

Roll up the slips of paper, and insert them into a deflated balloon.  Blow up balloons.  On each hour, pop balloons and do the activity inside.  

 

NYE NOISEMAKERS

Decorate paper plates with markers and curled ribbon. 

Fill with ½ cup dry beans. 

Fold in half and staple. 

 

These are just a couple of the activities that we like to do as a family on New Year’s Eve.  I created a NYE Family Activity Pack with even more ideas for a fun-filled night together.
