OK...another party question

So there is going to be a big age difference in the kids that are coming to James' party.  Like from 2 months - 7 years.  What are some ideas to keep the older kids entertained during the party?  If its nice, they can maybe play outside.

I really need to have a plan.  We had a group of friends over NYE day and some of these same kids were there and broke some of James' brand new toys because they were playing so rough with them.

    I don't have a true answer but as I look for activities for the younger ones I'm also looking for things for the older ones to do too...I started at Oriental Trading b/c they are usually pretty cheap and sell things in sets of 12.

    Not sure this is feasible but I rented a moonbounce for this reason. They were outside and away from averys toys. For her 2nd party most of the kids were I her age group

    I thought about a moonwalk as well...just not so sure about the weather...something to think about, though.

    I thought about something like that, but it has a pretty good chance of being cold outside. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

    Maybe you could get some blow-up balls and write each of their names on a ball in cute script... that way it doubles as a toy they can play with and a party favor?

     Or, have some kind of activity planned, like playdoh or crayons with coloring books?

    I like these ideas.  Also if there is a toy that you really don't want them playing with because they might break it then I'd just put it up until after the party was over.

    I don't have activity suggestions, but I agree with Candi... If there is something you don't want them to mess with, lock it up and act like it doesn't exist until they're gone!

    Oh, we will be.  I just underestimated the destructive quality of willful childrenWink

    I just hope to channel that energy elsewhere on the day of the party.  I saw some games on oriental trading that we might try out.
