New Year’s Eve Activities for Kids

New Year's Eve Activities for Kids

We’ve always spent New Year’s Eve at home with our kids. They are night owls, so staying up until midnight has never been a problem. We have a yummy appetizer dinner (this is my fave), play a game or two, and ring in the new year with noisemakers, confetti, & sparkling grape juice.

Some of our favorite New Year’s Eves were when we had all the cousins over to spend the night. Around 10:00, when everyone started to get a little bored, we would cover the living room floor with bubble wrap and let everyone go crazy. It was So LOUD, but super fun. One year we taped a plastic tablecloth to the ceiling and filled it with balloons and confetti. I think we were still finding confetti at Easter!

This year, we will be continuing the bubble wrap stomp-a-thon, playing Minute to Win It games, and munching on fried pickles.

I’ve rounded up some fun New Year’s Eve Activities for you to enjoy with your kids!
