New Year’s Eve Kids’ Crafts to Celebrate and Organize

December 18, 2012 by AllFreeKidsCrafts

Noisemaker Centerpiece3, 2, 1, have some fun and start dancing! It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and you’ve got a spectacular kid-friendly party to throw, or a party that your kids are coming with you to. Either way, you’ve got to keep them having a good time. Why would that make you dance? Because AllFreeKidsCrafts has it all sorted out for you. We have the perfect crafts and recipes to make December 31st go as smoothly as butter. Keep the kids’ tummies full with yummy snacks and tire them out with fun, exciting crafts and you may just get to sneak in your New Year’s kiss without a little nose in the way.

Making noise is a blast for the little ones, so encourage it for one night (only oneFringed Noisemakers night, for your sake) with noise-making crafts. This will keep the kids focused while you’re doing what you do, and then it will give them something to do when the clock strikes 12 instead of simply screaming. There are some creative ideas out on the internet. I really enjoy the Fringed Party Noisemakers.

Other Noisemaker Crafts:

  • Bubble Wrap Noisemaker
  • New Year’s Noisemaker
  • Recycled Noisemaker

Party HatWearing party hats is fun, but wearing party hats that you made is just awesome. The munchkins will get a kick out of their crafts serving as party decorations everywhere. Hands down my favorite New Year’s Eve kids’ craft is the New Year ball that Exclusive New Year's Ball Dropyou can “drop” in your own home. It’s really a simple craft that will create an unforgettable memory. How fun is it that you can have your own ball drop rather than just watching it on TV? It’s even better than wearing 3D glasses while watching the event in Time Square.

Other New Year’s Eve Kids’ Decorations:

  • Party Hats
  • Party Puff New Year’s Hats
  • New Year’s Confetti Fun
  • Noisemaker Centerpiece

Mouthwatering Midnight Oreo PopsIt is essential that you remember that diet resolutions don’t start until it’s officially January 1st, so make New Year’s edible crafts with your kiddos. All of your guests will be delighted by the clever, festive treats that you and your mini sous chefs create. The kids will just love serving their homemade snacks and showing off their artistic abilities. I’m a big fan of Edible Noisemakersthe midnight Oreo pops because they’re super simple to make, they’re absolutely delectable, and they’re the perfect size for party food.

Other Edible New Year Crafts:

  • Rice Krispie Party Hat
  • Edible Noisemakers
  • New Year Good Luck Pretzel

Bonus!

Some other great crafts for your kids or grandkids to make are organizational projects. They’re just as fun for the kids, and they help you out a ton. The kids will look forward to filling their crafts with items, which means that your cleaning will be done for you! Thank the craft goddesses for this one! The organizational castle is a great project that will please both of you. Crown the artist as your New Year’s resolution gets a big head start.

How to Make New Year’s Eve Decorations and Games

December 30, 2009 by FaveCrafts

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, which means you have very limited time to prepare and make those last minute decorations. You need to ring in the new year with a bang and tons of fun with your closest friends and family. If you’re having a house party then you definitely need to spruce up the place with some great decorations. And of course you need to plan some fun activities and games to make for a great night.

A really easy, yet fun decoration you can make for New Year’s is the paper garland rings. This is perfect for kids to help out with. All you need are different colored pieces of construction paper, scissors and either tape or a stapler. It’s so simple. You cut your construction paper to the desired thickness of each ring. Then you connect one end to the other and either tape or staple. Once you have your first ring you can then loop the second one through the first and staple or tape. You continue to do this until you have the desired length of your paper garland. If you want to get fancy you can always add some glitter to make the room sparkle.

Another one of my favorite decorations that are easy to make are fun little centerpieces. You can put these on the dinner table or dining table, it adds fun to the room. Materials needed are wire garland red and green, with stars hanging from them or little trees if you can find, a styrofoam base the size of your choosing and shiny cellophane wrapping along with ribbon. Again, this is such an easy craft for the kids to help out with. All you need to is stick the wire garland into the styrofoam base and format to your liking. Of course you need to cut the garland into pieces whichever length you wish. Once all your garland is nicely formatted and spread out like a floral vase you take the cellophane and wrap it around the styrofoam base and tie the ribbon into a nice bow. There you go, a nicely decorated centerpiece for the new year.

An easy and fun game for New Year’s Eve is the Memory game, only this time you can create it yourself. Using paper cups, beer bottle caps (two caps per beer so there are only two to match) and pop bottle caps (two caps per pop flavor) you can make this so simple. All you need to do is layout the bottle caps face up so you can see the label. You can use as many or as little as you wish, the more you use, the harder and more fun it will be. Once all the caps are laid out you can put a paper cup over all of them. Then start playing. The point of the game is to match up as many caps as you can. Find two like caps and whoever gets the most matches wins.
