My friend is coming to paint faces (she's really good!) but aside from that I'm stumped. I mean its only 2.5-3 hours, and that includes lunch, presents and cake..so I Prob don't need too much right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities#post-1054486 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 00:31:53 +0000 autumnlove 1054486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Did you figure out any activities?

Or play dough is a good idea too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities#post-1040919 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 21:58:34 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1040919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>playdough! it's so easy to make your own - flour, cream of tarter, &amp; salt, then add hot water and mix. food coloring if you want pretty colors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities#post-1039695 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:16:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 1039695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @autumn865: ooh bubbles and coloring are good ideas! I have no idea if it'll be warm enough to swim, so I don't want to count on pool or a water table unfortunately. DD was born 9/27, and that day was pretty warm..then the day we took her home from the hosp it was freezing!</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: good ideas! thanks! I'll see what stuff I have that I can repurpose for games :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities#post-1033068 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:04:03 +0000 LuLu Mom 1033068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a range of 1-6 year olds and am planning the following games (all games I made) </p> <p>ring toss (spray painted old Starbucks glass bottles, and bought embrodiary hoops that I covered in ribbon) </p> <p>Bean bag toss - 6 different colored bean bags that they will throw at the same colored paper </p> <p>Ball Toss - Sand buckets and ping pong balls. Similar to the old Bozo The Clown game </p> <p>We will also have a couple other yard games for both kids and adults that we already have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities#post-1033058 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:01:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1033058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mickey and Minnie coloring book pages<br /> Dress up- ears, boas, bow ties<br /> If the weather is nice how aboit a water table that you keep for your DD?<br /> Musical instruments or put on kid friendly music. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities#post-1033057 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:01:04 +0000 autumn865 1033057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally thinking the exact same thing for DD's one year party with vastly different age ranges. The goodie bags were hard enough! I was thinking putting out some bubbles and sidewalk chalk? Also flung up DD's baby pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-activities#post-1033020 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:50:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 1033020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having two separate parties, one on saturday and one sunday (in september). family is saturday, friends on sunday. Minnie Mouse party, if that matters.</p> <p>anyway, the age groups of the children vary WILDLY. we are on a super budget, so no bouncy houses or expensive activities allowed.</p> <p>is anyone bored enough to help me come up with some activities and/or games for the kids (and their own parents) to do, if I list ages? :)</p> <p>EDIT - It's at my parents, so while there are some baby toys, there are not as many as if it were at our house. </p> <p>--</p> <p>family party:<br /> (4) 12/13 year olds..I'm not too worried about them.<br /> (2) 8 year olds..same as above<br /> (3) 3-5 year olds<br /> (3) 2-year olds<br /> (2) babies (9 months, and my dd!)</p> <p>friend party:<br /> (4) 2-3 year olds<br /> (5) 1 year olds (well, from 11-15 m)<br /> (1) 8 month old</p> <p>ahh thanks!! </p>
