Kid's Christmas Party

I'm planning to have a Christmas party for my kids and their friends. Here are some inspiring ideas for what to have, do, make, and play!

I'd love to do a photo booth when they first arrive. The background should be wrapping paper. Have a high stool (so they can't run away as quickly!) They should wear a Santa hat! Maybe the girls could wear a headband with a shiny bow.


Better have this guy ready to go!

Let the kids mix glitter into white playdough to make snow playdough.

Have a cookie bar set up with cookies already baked. Use frostings and sprinkles. Cover everything with a vinyl tablecloth.

Then stow the cookies in these cute rudolph sacks to take home.

DIY Gift Wrap

This year I'm going to try out making my own wrapping paper. Well, maybe with a little 1-year-old and 3-year old help. Here are some inspirations!

Use magazines, maps, phone books, or newspapers for the paper and the bow.

Paint pen on kraft paper.

Or draw a bow on the package. :)


Just plain kraft paper tied up with string. This is so minimal and makes me so happy!

I just love the grey and white wrapping. I'm pretty sure this is going to be under my tree this year. White paper for my husband's family, grey paper for my family.
