I don't post often and didn't realize there was a preschool board, so I posted this on 24 mos + first.
I am going to have a small party for our DS, mostly family and a few close friends at a restaurant that has a small playroom with a handful of toys/tvs. It will be about 20 adults and 6 kids (3 yrs). I planned very last minute and didn't think most of the kids would be able to come besides my nephew, so I hadn't intended to do any games, etc.. I planned nothing....
So now, last minute, I was thinking maybe when
people get there I can have a small easy craft setup for the kids, then
they can eat and run around in the playroom for a bit before cake.
It's starting at 11:30 and I am guessing we'll wrap up around 1:30.
I'll have a small bag with a balloon and some favors to take home (along
with the craft).
Is it ok if I don't plan any organized
games, etc..? I feel like at 3 the attention span is pretty short
anyway. What do you think - would your kids be bored by this or you
think it sounds fine?
Re: RP - 3 YO bday party question
I haven't had any planned activities for any of our parties yet, including DS's 4th. We are having DD's 2nd party next weekend and have nothing planned. We have small parties at our house and the kids (usually around 8-10 total) are plenty entertained by just running around and playing with each other and my kids' toys. I haven't seen the need (yet) to offer planned activities or entertainment.
Thank you guys for the comments and ideas...I feel a little better, and I think I will bring some playdough and stickers in addition to the craft - thanks! I hope everybody has a good time...
