[quote=Anonymous]I've been to several parties at community centers and in my experience, parents often don't have enough toys/activities/crafts to keep the kids entertained for the 2 hours or so that you typically have the space. I think the PPs suggestions for crafts and activities are good, but I would also bring some extra toys or other unstructured activities (coloring pages, etc.) as well. With 3 and 4 year olds, I wouldn't count on games holding their attention for very long, so I'd plan for 3 simple games and an easy craft project. And definitely bring the food out early, because that will help keep people happy as much as anything else.

Also, I don't know how doable it is in the space you will have, but you could look into getting a piñata, as little kids might enjoy that. Just make sure that whatever is inside the piñata is actually safe for young children. At one party I attended, once the piñata broke open, the parents had to scramble and pick up all the hard candy from the ground because none of the children were old enough to safely eat it.
