3 year old birthday party

[Scared102]

Any ideas on what sort of things to do for a 3 year old boys birthday party in a village hall? Already have bouncy castle & looking for other activities that could entertain 20 1year- 5 year olds!

I went to a party recently that had a mini craft table for the older ones, ball pit, few baby mats and toys.

Not sure on budget but an entertainer could be helpful.

If not a hall full of the castle, toys, table and space to run works well.

They can be reaaaaally nice and over done (a compliment!) but kids also don't need much?!?!

Some type of quiet craft

Station 1) paper plates, rich tea biscuits, some icing pens and white icing. Write their name on their paper plates and they can take their biscuit home at the end.

Station 2) Long roll of lining paper from B&Q, and plenty of pencils and crayons (not felt tips so you don't have to worry what they are drawing on)

Station 3) sticker table and some arts and crafts / junk modelling or Muller corners can be turned into little puppets if you have some googly eyes, milk bottles that are cut out to look like Elmer the elephant which they can decorate with stickers and then a party favour can be an Elmer the Elephant book from theBookPeople or whatever name they trade under now.

Be aware of balloons and loud music, lots of little children don't like it

Didi cars are good. Also strips of bubble wrap taped to the floor. Soft play blocks or giant soft Lego bricks.
