Parties for Kids

Coming with new ways to entertain your children all of the time can be pretty challenging today. You hate the idea of the kids spending hour after hours glued to the television set or playing video games when there is so much more that they could be doing each day. No doubt you have friends and other parents in your area that feel the same way as you do, but finding new and fun things for kids to do that they will enjoy can leave you feeling stumped. If you are looking for some new and interesting ideas for unique play dates and parties for kids, here are a few suggestions for you:

• A Superhero Day – you have heard all about the comic book and fantasy conventions that many adults go to today. Why not offer something like that on a smaller scale for all the kids? You can have a superhero day at the house where everyone comes dressed as his or her favorite superhero for the day. For kids that may not have a favorite superhero or a costume, set up a station with paper masks, and dress-up clothes where the kids can color the masks and create their own superhero identity. You can serve snacks, get superhero decorations and even play games like “find the villain” (a version of hide and seek or hide a stuffed animal dressed as a supervillain) to add to the fun.
• Throw a Reptile Party – For something very different, you may want to think about having a theme party where you can incorporate different animals that the kids are interested in. Places like the Critter Squad can help you host reptile parties where you can have different reptiles brought right to your home by handlers and educators. The kids can get the chance to interact with the different snakes, turtles, lizards or other animals and it can be just like they are at their own reptiles zoo for the day. You can create a whole theme for the day around the party and have games and events before and after the presentation that relate to reptiles.

Use Your Imagination

The key to hosting unique play dates or parties for kids that the kids will love rests in your imagination. Get inventive and have fun with all different ideas to see what you can come up with to incorporate as many fun things as the kids enjoy. You will find that you can come up with some fantastic ideas that kids will love both in and out of the home that can create exciting days and memories.
