We are giving my almost 4yr old a birthday party in 2 weeks time. We've hired a local hall (Very cheap) and DH is doing a disco / music as we have the lights so that is sorted.
I thought lots of the kids she invited wouldn't come but of course they ALL are so we have 20 x 4 yr olds, actually a couple of them are older but most are age 3/4.
Ideas I have had:
Craft table - but what can they do? Do i get them all to do something at the same time or set up 'stations'
Traditional games - Pass the parcel (2 groups). musical statues, chairs, bumps, hokey cokey, simon says - anything else?
Pin the tail on the Donkey - thought could perhaps split into two groups, have one doing pin the tail on the donkey and the rest on craft table?
Then general madness and dancing for a bit followed by traditional sit down party food (doing the party boxes idea) followed by a bit more dancing.
Anything else I could do? I kind of want them to spend the first 15-20 mins calmly (ahem) doing something crafty but can't think of something to suit 20 kids??
No budget for entertainer, bouncy castle etc as trying to do this on the cheap as she's only 4!
PS I have 2 x ten yr old helpers coming along which could be 'team leader' type people if I can think of something for them to co-ordinate.
