Kids’
parties can be a handful, but with a few cleverly constructed “play
stations” your next kid’s party will be a breeze. Spread a few play
stations out over your living room inside your home, or outside in the
back yard, far enough apart so there’s no overflow and the kids can
focus. These are play stations I’ve used for my kids – they were not
only a huge hit but they made the parties kerfuffle free.
1. Cookie
Decoration – Have a cookie decorating station with different color
frostings and sprinkles. The kids will love giving the cookies that
bling, then having them for a snack too.
2. Video
Game Station – Having a video game station for the boys is a must. Put
a play time of 15 or 20 minutes per couple of boys so that everyone
gets a turn. Have some snacks at the station like Twizzlers and peanuts
so they can munch while they destroy evil alien invadors.
3. Card
Making – A card making station is so much fun because the kids can make
a card for the birthday girl or boy if it’s a birthday party, or any
celebration card. Have different colored markers, crayons, and even
some glue with glitter so the kids can really create one-of-a-kinds.
4. Paper
Airplanes – The simplicity of the paper airplane still remains a go-to
activity to this day. Having a paper airplane station with markers so
the kids can decorate their airplanes also gives them a nice token to
bring home at the end of the party.
5. Flower
Arranging – Kids love flowers as much as we do and arranging is an art
they can enjoy at a party and also bring their arrangement home as a
trophy to be enjoyed for days to come. Have several different types of
flowers, cut and ready to be arranged in small vases. You can even be
more creative and arrange the flowers in take-home mugs or tall glasses
and they’ll have another party keepsake.
