Involving the Kids in the New Year Celebration
Help the kids ring in the New Year with these fun
activities.
1.Make their own Times Square Ball - Simply get a large
paper
grocery bag and paint it silver,gold or whatever
colors they desire and then add stickers ,streamers,etc.
fill with
candy,confetti,toys,etc and tie with a ribbon.
Hang with ribbons that are attached in each corner of the
bottom of
the bag through holes that you have punched when
midnight strikes let them pull the ribbon and all the candy
and confetti
will come pouring out.
3.Make a float for New Years Day- Use a cardboard box or
decorate
a wagon with streamers, crepe paper, balloons and
poster boards.Then they can have their very own parade .
4.Make hats by rolling up paper to form a cone and then
stapling
or taping it and decorating it.
5.Give them gift poppers that you have made-Take a toilet
tissue
roll and cover it in silver or gold wrapping paper by
rolling it on the tube then twist one end of the paper and
tie
with lots of curly ribbon then the end that is left open
simply fill with small candies, treasures and confetti and
then
twist that end and tie the same as the other end. Take
a push pin and poke tiny holes around each end of the ribbon
so
when the kids pull it it pops off easier and out come the
goodies inside!
Start the New Year off with activities for the whole family
and
vow to do more and be closer as a family this year and
every year to come!
