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

DIY Field Day

Olympic Games Birthday party. Divide kids into groups by country, and they can compete in a variety of lawn games/sports. Crown the winners at the end with medals.

Playground and cupcakes

Bike ride/hike

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

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

Sounds fun! What kind of art stations?

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.
