Something with minimal prep and supplies. And then if you dont need it, you aren't out a lot of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activity-for-birthday-party-free-time#post-2454673 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 08:32:11 +0000 regberadaisy 2454673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yeah, I've only been to one venue party with LO and I just feel like there is so much unknowns?? How can the hostess be sure nothing will run over? LOL That's a cute craft and inexpensive. I guess I can always buy the supplies, bring it with me, and if we don't have time we can just take it into daycare for her daycare "party"?</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: cute idea on the fan.! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activity-for-birthday-party-free-time#post-2454672 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 08:30:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 2454672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want to do a craft activity, there are tons of animal themed ones that would be fun! If it will be hot out, what about making animal face/shaped fans? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activity-for-birthday-party-free-time#post-2454664 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 08:27:22 +0000 Mamaof2 2454664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find that it actually takes way longer to eat than you think - however if you have time this would be fun - you could read "Put me in the Zoo" and then do this </p> [attach=4342/16/o2a81m.400x600.98b2125cea0123b87a14486807c759d9.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activity-for-birthday-party-free-time#post-2454649 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 08:20:58 +0000 regberadaisy 2454649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having DD1's 4th birthday party at the zoo. There will be an hour at the end for lunch (pizza + snacks) and cake.</p> <p>In your experience, will there any time leftover after food and cake? Should we have some kind of activity for the leftover time? We don't plan on opening gifts at the party. </p> <p>The party hostess is open to helping us plan this hour "free" time. I'm just not sure if there is enough time for an activity? And if there is, do you have any ideas? It's at the zoo, so something zoo/animal related will be great. </p>
