First off, how is it already going to be the New Year? 2021 was surely different than anyone could have ever imagined. I think we can all agree that 2021 was a year filled with obstacles, a lot of unknowns, stress, and a ton of masks! We are still trying to figure out our new norm, but it has also given us time to be able to refocus and realize what matters the most in our lives.
Since we have had both girls during this pandemic, we will be staying in! I will most likely miss the ball drop and go to bed around my normal time, 8:30- 9:00 PM. Mom life.
Are you ringing in the New Year with kids too? Here is a NYE kid friendly toast along with some fun activities they will enjoy!
New Years Eve Shirts
To get the day started, make some festive shirts! I am only a year into my cricut journey, but I can honestly say I have made so much stuff with it. If you love crafting, want to design shirts, or wood hangers, the cricut maker is the way to go!
I bought this Happy New Years SVG on etsy. It is so adorable especially when paired with a glittery HTV! I love making fun t-shirts for every holiday.
Kid Friendly Toast
For the NYE kid friendly toast, I made a vanilla pudding milkshake! It’s consistency is a little bit thicker than milk. If you want it thicker, I would add ice or more ice cream.
- instant jell-o pudding
- vanilla ice cream
Once the jell-o has set, grab your blender and add in 1 cup milk, 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, and 3 tbsp of the instant jell-o. Add some chocolate syrup and sprinkles to the rim for fun.
Keep the Kids Entertained
Create two easy sensory activities to keep them busy! Playdoh and rice is always a huge hit in my house.
Rice Sensory Bin
- dyed black rice
- star die-cuts
- pipe cleaners
- gold and black pom poms
- NYE noise maker
Playdoh
- dollar store tray
- playdoh
- pipe cleaners
- pony beads
- glitter bowl filler
My daughter used the pony beads and pipe cleaners to make a bracelet. Great way to practice those fine motor skills!
