Ideas for a mixed age party please?

[Teenybitsad]

DD is turning 3 soon and I'm doing her party at home...she's not at nursery or anything yet so it's going to be her cousins and a couple of little boys who are similar age to her (my mates kids)
The ages of the kids are

DD 3
Little boy 1 aged 3
Little boy 2 aged 18 months
Little boy aged 1
Her sis 6
Twin cousins boy and girl aged 6
Other cousins both girls aged 8 and 10

The older girl cousins are very young for their age and like to join in crafts etc. DD is getting a new trampoline so the kis will play on that a lot and I thought I could get some of those pottery animals that they can paint....set up a table and have a crafty time whch DD loves....tea will be traditional cakes sandwiches and jelly ect and I think most kids like pass the parcel dont they?

Any ideas for kids music? We dont have anthing to PLAY it on as we just listen to the radio and stuff on youtube...

Soo has anyone got any ideas for games/activities or any advice please?

I would theme the games around your dd as its her party, a treasure hunt could work as you could pair them up - bigger ones could help little ones find stuff, pass the parcel, hanging donkey thing you hit and it gives you sweets, parachute games (I got one for ds1's 4th birthday from Argos on nectar points but was only £10 if you paid for it)

Craft wise, sounds lovely but little old for younger ones, might be good to have a couple of different things as big diff between 10yrs and 1...

ELC do good kids music CD's - could you buy one and play it off your laptop? or borrow CD's from friends? (thats what we do)

Hth - love parties at home, best ones to have

...If you get the kids making noisy things - drums, shakers, whistles - and have lots of similarly noisy toys, you give the littler kids a way to join in without struggling to make things. Plus solves the music problem - as you can play singing/music games...

Love the treasure hunt! I think the animal painting is fine though...DD has does it already at a pottery cafe and there are only 2 other kids younger than her so I think that will be fine.
