10 Ways to Ring in the New Year!

10 Ways to Ring in the New Year

If you have some crazy kids that can stay up on New Year’s Eve, here are some great activities you will be able to enjoy together as a family. My personal favorite is the Memory Scavenger Hunt, but I am sure my kids will be all about the cotton candy drinks! What is your favorite way to bring in the New Year?

1.) Scripture Balloon Pops

Pop a balloon and get a bible verse!

2.) Sparkling Cotton Candy Drinks

Let the kids pretend they’ve got their own bubbly.

3.) NYE Shakers

Let the kids make all the noise they want with these shakers – you can update the year of course.

4.) Noisemakers

You can also make these classy noisemakers, but just make sure you properly dispose of them afterwards (or else you’ll be driven insane!)

5.) Time Capsules

These are so great to help your kids reflect!

6.) Balloon Drop

This is such a fun way to get your kids excited (if they can make it) during the ball drop!

7.) Confetti Pop Balloon

This is a really fun way to get your kids involved in decorating. Plus, they’ll love popping it – you just might not love the clean up.

8.) Fizzy NYE Bath

Possibly an easy way to get your kids to bed earlier too!

9.) Exploding Party Poppers

You can use leftover wrapping paper rolls to make these – and the bonus is that you know your children are using them safely.

10.) Memory Scavenger Hunt

This is another great way to get your kids reflecting back on the year – and also a great way to keep them busy.
