I am having a party (next Saturday) for DS aged 4 in our house with 11 children (games, party bags sorted). DS (7) will have 3 friends round whose younger siblings are in the party.
Then for the party tea there will be up to 10 other older children including age ranges 7-11, plus parents.
Questions - please help!!
(1) I wasn't going to give party bags for the 14 others but was thinking of some present/gift/lucky dip - but what?
(2) Food suggestions that cover all bases from the 4 year olds - 11 years and the adults. I won't have too much time for cooking.
(3) Though I said games were sorted for the 4 year olds - any suggestions as to how to keep DS and 3 of his friends occupied whilst the party is on? Can't be TV as we only have one and that's where the younger ones will be. was thinking about giving them various tasks (eg paper aeroplane making from a kit and then design their own to fly down the stairs; making a den in DS1 bedroom in advance ....)
All ideas welcome!
