What is your kid into? I just did an art party for my kid with different art stations but maybe yours wouldn’t prefer that. |

We’ve done a few things
-buy a slip and slide and invite a few kids; they love it -get DIY crafts that become the take-home gift. Slime was great for that (even tho I hate slime the kids played with it for a long time). Also could do a paint-your-own project or something similar |

We make giant bubbles like this for outdoor parties and they’re always a bit hit:

I had a chalk station to draw with chalk Air dry clay station with bags of air dried clay and they could make whatever they wanted A station where I got the cheap canvases from Dollar Tree and put each person’s first initial in masking tape. Then filled some water guns with a paint/water combo and they squirted them A station with body length paper and I put rocks on each corner so it wouldn’t move and I traced their body and then they added the details Pipe cleaner and bead bracelet station. I added alphabet beads which were most popular. The most popular station was a color mixing station which I had an empty water table and I took a bunch of plastic beakers and test tubes from our science kits and had jugs of red, blue and yellow water which I made with food coloring and they got to mix their own color. The kids probably spent an hour huddled around that station mixing “potions” Ages 5-8 |
