party games for a 1st birthday party???

[nugget]

DS2 is turning one very soon and there'll be about 10-12 little kids there, mostly aged between 2 and 4 yrs old.

Apart from pin the tail, and pass the parcel....what other games/activities could we do?

The party is being held inddors and outdoors- we've hired a small hall, with a small outdoor playground and sandpit area aswell - but you never know what the weather will be like in July.

Anyone know of some simple but fun games or activities!

Musical statues or musical chairs? Instead of chairs you could use cushions or similar so that you don't have little ones falling off chairs. Or musical drops (where they just have to drop down when the music stops), might be easier than statues for little ones.

Depending on how much mess you are happy to deal with you could have them decorate their own party hats.

Hi

I am thinking what my twins would like at a party... besides the games you already have-



Coloring in posters/colouring in books
play doh (make sure kids don't eat it :))
crafts- making own birthday masks and cards
Crayola toddler hand Paints (in a small drip free container)
Wooden Puzzles (hire from Toy Libraries or buy from Big W)
Blocks- wooden or plastic

Check out play school web site- great "make and Do' section, could always print and photo copy stencils and sheets straight from site for kids to use.

Hope this some how helps you.

Good luck and have lots of fun :party:
