I was so against the idea because I didn't think any of the kids would really play in it, but O-M-G, that thing kept them SO busy. It was well worth the $89 we paid for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-at-1-year-old-bday-party#post-568250 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 10:23:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 568250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: Seriously, buy a bubble machine!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-at-1-year-old-bday-party#post-568042 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 09:25:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 568042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on just letting the kids play together and maybe have a coloring book station. I thought about a bouncy house, but LO would be too young to enjoy it so I'm skipping it. Kids are great at entertaining themselves at that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-at-1-year-old-bday-party#post-567834 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 07:21:33 +0000 tequiero21 567834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump, I need this. Any others? I'd rather not have to hire an entertainer... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-at-1-year-old-bday-party#post-457895 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 07:53:11 +0000 heffalump 457895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only had 3 kids, 2 three year olds and 1 seven year old. I didn't plan any special activity. I let them play with los gifts, they loved that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-at-1-year-old-bday-party#post-453290 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:57:35 +0000 T-Mom 453290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a sand and water table for the kids, and that was pretty much it. There were mostly adults and only a few kids. The adults socialized, and the kids played with the sand table and also occupied themselves with toys around our house. I felt that there was enough activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-at-1-year-old-bday-party#post-453106 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 09:33:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 453106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made homemade coloring books and had little packs of crayons for the kids to color at a kid sized picnic table. </p> <p>For some of the older kids we had four square, bubbles, and chalk outside. </p> <p>Plus we had set up lots of toys like our play kitchen for them to play with. </p> <p>As a back up rainy day game we had a musical chairs game planned (but you can use dots on the floor instead of chairs). </p> <p>We also did a "Guess how big the Birthday Girl is". Everyone wrote down their guess for the # of inches and then we measured her against the wall. After that all of the kids wanted to be measured </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-at-1-year-old-bday-party#post-453031 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 08:52:36 +0000 littlek 453031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of activities did you have or are you planning on having at your LO's 1st birthday? </p>
