New Year’s Eve Party Ideas for Kids
Twelve DIY NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY IDEAS FOR KIDS
NYE ENTERTAINMENT
As the year draws to an end we got thinking about our end of year celebration party. We couldn't find any big festivals or events to take our Wide Bay Kids to in Bundaberg, so, we have put together a list of Do-It-Yourself New Year's Eve Party Ideas. You can create a Balloon Clock to help count down to mid-night or make your very own kid friendly mocktails.
1. Make a Balloon Clock
The Suburban Mom has a great idea for New Year’s Eve decor and it’s surprisingly easy to make! If you can’t find number stickers, you can also use simple cutouts and stick them yourself. You can also go completely DIY by making the numbers out of black chart paper!
2. Shooting Star Pinata
Pinatas are never not fun, and your New Year Eve’s party could use one too! Delia Creates has an absolutely stunning shooting star pinata DIY, that’ll have the kids super-impressed! When it’s time to celebrate the coming of 2022, go ahead and give it a pull!

4. Edible Party Horns
Give the kids horns that they can toot and eat as well! Hungry Happenings shows us how to turn basic ice cream cones into colorful, edible party horns. These are going to look so pretty when they’re all done and placed on a tray!
