    Hey Everyone

    Just wondering if anyone has any unusual or different ideas for kids party's?

    I know the usual zoom and junglemania but at this stage everyones done them.

    I'm looking for something different and I would have to allow for the distance for other parents to bring there children.


    Thanks in Advance:)

    Can you provide either the age of the children, the number of children going to the party, or the part of the country you need?

    A 2 year old's party is fairly different to a 12 year old.

    Those might help suggestions.

    you could rent out a hall - and do zumba or something - a neighbour of mine does zumba for kids parties and they love it! you could do that for an hour and then have an another hour for face painting and ball games - if you have any teenage nieces/nephews that could help with that. For food you could have buns and crisps and whatever else that kids like. Some community halls have kitchens so you could heat up some pre cooked sausages/nuggets

    My eldest just turned seven and we did ice-cream sundaes instead of a cake. It was really low effort- just a couple of tubs of different flavoured ice-creams and then a load of different toppings and sauces. We got cardboard ice-cream cups and the kids really enjoyed making their own concoctions. We've also done a pizza party in the same way.

    For this age imo, less is more- they are excited enough being together and playing without too much structured activity. Saying that I like the idea of them doing some kind of craft for them to take home instead of the usual party bag. We've made strings of beads, crowns (just cut out a load of strips of gold and silver cardboard and have ribbons to attach them, then let them go nuts with stickers and glitter and glue), beeswax candle rolling, ribbon wands (sticks with ribbons attached with sparkly pipe cleaners and a bell on top), masks. Just with that amount of kids I would set up the craft station and have a parent supervising but allow kids to do it in their own time- it will be chaos having 20 kids try to craft at once!
