I wasn't sure what else to do, either. All of the kids coming will be over 2. I feel like they'll all really enjoy it, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-older-kids-at-1st-birthday#post-1682649 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:19:05 +0000 Sparkler 1682649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a spring theme and the older kids planted tulips, but you could probably do something similar with mums? I just bought pots at ikea, had a big bucket of dirt, a bunch of little shovels and a few watering cans and a few packages of wipes for cleanup and it was a big hit. I just made labels with the older kids names for the pots and that was their favor. It didn't take up as much time as a bounce house, but I would do it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-older-kids-at-1st-birthday#post-1682530 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:25:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1682530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @autumnlove: that's what I meant by moon walk lol....I'm thinking that's what we're probably going to have to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-older-kids-at-1st-birthday#post-1682514 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:17:05 +0000 autumnlove 1682514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bounce houses are great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-older-kids-at-1st-birthday#post-1682471 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:55:58 +0000 blackbird 1682471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone likes a bounce house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-older-kids-at-1st-birthday#post-1682465 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:53:43 +0000 mrskc 1682465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could have some art supplies like crayons and paper available. I did pumpkin decorating at DS's first birthday and the kids enjoyed it. I also set out some of his toys I thought older kids would like like his FP house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activities-for-older-kids-at-1st-birthday#post-1682425 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:42:07 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1682425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will be throwing a simple garden/tea party for LO in September. She is the only girl in our group of friends with kids as well as the youngest. (All the other kids invited will be 2+). I really don't want to because I was wanting something simple &amp; sweet while she doesn't have a say ( :silly: ) but I should I rent a moon walk so the boys will have something to do? Is there a different activity that would be less gaudy? </p>
