party games/toys for 2 year olds?help pls

[lizzylu]

Am having nine kids over this Sat for DS's 2nd birthday.
Was hoping I could get some advice re any games (willing to purchase some inexpensive stuff if needs be)I could arrange for them before they have tea.
We have a small garden so will need to be indoors, have a mix of boys and girls coming. Any advice appreciated! thank you

I wouldn't bother with games, they are generally too young to get them and in my experience the adults end up playing rather than the children who have gotten bored.

they don't tend to understand taking turns, or playing together at this age

I would just let them play, they are more than happy with this and then give them food

Can't beat the traditional ones like musical chairs, musical statues, blind man's buff and pass the parcel. Two year-olds have no idea they're as old as the hills!!! Have fun

a bublle machine ! A friend of mine had a bubble party for her two year old it was lovely. She gave each child a rubber duck and some bubbles to take home.

I really wouldn't bother with games for 2 year olds, although some might enjoy/expect pass the parcel if they've been to a lot of parties. Just let them dance and run around!

thanks for your advice and suggestions

Am I too late? I was going to say bubbles and musical statues where you let them dance for ages and give everyone a prize whether they freeze when the music stops or not.
