Meaplus3 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I am having a big birthday party for my three year old son this Sunday! I have invited his entire pre-school class.. and well guess what?? They all can come! In year's past for my other two..I have had clown's a magician.. even a pony once.. however this party was sort of last minute and I have NO entertainment lined up. So.. I am stumped on how to keep them busy for 3 hour's?? The theme is "Car's" and I have that movie which I can play.. however I'm not sure they will all sit thru it..might get bored to quick. Any idea's would be greatly appreicated. Thank's. AP:) Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you get a lot of help (other mothers ...lol) I think you're a little late for a party for such a large group.. three years old.. humm.. I'm not quite sure how you can entertain such young children.. other than small, short games.. maybe if you google you can find games for toddlers.. Link to post Share on other sites
Lizzie60 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How about a muppet show.. face painting.. (by a clown) Place the kids in a circle and wrap a gift with many layers of papers.. then when the music stop the kid with the gift unwrap it.. you probably know this game. The party should not be too long.. like 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour is long enough.. for you.. lol and the kids.. Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm...That is a good idea about the circle and gift, Does not sound messy.. or dangerous! :DI know I probably should have made the party shorter.. however I figured.. with the pizza, cake and gift's..it might take that long! This just got me remembering the party I had for my daughter a couple of year's back. Had a pony.. well the thing pooped all throughout my yard.. and was getting sort of excited..made me nervous, never doing that again! Thank's Lizzie. AP:) Link to post Share on other sites
blind_otter Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hmmm. I remember (barely) my nephew's 3rd b-day party. My sis has a lot of property so they set up a bunch of activities - they even had a bounce house (one of those inflatable big house looking things that you can jump around in). I admit that I sort of comendeered the bounce house. I got in there (I was 24 at the time, hehehe) and started jumping all over the place and the kids just abandoned the bounce house because I was taking up all the space. Mostly, though, she just let them run around screaming in an enclosed area in front of her house. That seemed to be enough for the little kids. Link to post Share on other sites
JulieJ Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Is it possible to turn the party into an "outing" of sorts and have the parents drop the kids off at destination? You could look up fun activities in your area on GoCityKids.com. Maybe you could get a few friends to chaperone and then you wouldn't even have to clean up your house!

stampdaddy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 sorry I missed this post, I have a great idea... Sponge Bob party, whereyou cut up little sponges and put them in a pail of water and have them go "Sponge Bobbin" and one of the sponges has a "prize number" on it, but they all win something of course...
