Help needed! I have a group of mum friends and I thought it would be fun to invite everyone over for an Easter themed playdate/party at our house. I didn’t want anyone to be left out so I invited the whole group including siblings and in the end it means there will be 10 4 years olds most of whom are boys. 3 20 month olds and a couple of babies. Plus at least 10-20 parents. Our house is an ok size but I’m getting worried about the best way to entertain such a big group.
I have stuff for an egg hunt in the garden which involves finding plastic eggs and at the end everyone brings them back and wins the same prize (a party bag). Otherwise we do have a playroom but not sure how long the selection of toys will keep them entertained. My child is a girl and mostly boys coming so the toys are a bit less boy centric. We have a slide and swings in the garden plus a couple of balls and a sandpit so hopefully that will take up some time.
i got some bits to make a sensory box for the toddlers and thought I’d blow up some balloons and put music on so they can dance and jump around a bit. Also I found a game of pin the tail on the bunny involving a blindfold and stickers which could be fun?
parents I’m less worried about, it’s a morning event so I figured coffees, pastries and mimosas would do the trick.does anyone have any other ideas for keeping them entertained? I considered getting a bouncy castle at one point in the garden but the weather looks a bit changeable and wasn’t sure if that might be a bit much?
thanks in advance for the help!
