New Year’s Eve always surprises me.. it seems so long away with the big build up to Christmas and suddenly it is THERE. Oh my what to do for New Year’s Eve. To be honest, we generally have a pretty low key New Year’s Eve as the kids have been quite little to date. But As they grow older and start to grasp the concept of a what a New Year is, I think it is nice to introduce some New Year’s Eve Traditions and New Year’s Eve Crafts. So lucky you, my readers, I have TWO videos for you + some associated links….
The first New Year’s Eve video talks about Activities and craft ideas – lots of masks and decorating inspiration etc. This is hosted by me as “Red Ted Art”.
The second New Year’s Eve video talks more about traditions – what do we do as a family – do the kids get to stay up late? Is it all about a big party? Or just some time to reflect? I hope you enjoy both! This is hosted by me representing Handbags & Wellies! This makes for “great listening” whilst doing something else, like cooking the kids dinner or tidying up!

December 14, 2013 at 9:28 pmWe always celebrate with friends and their children. The kids do stay up and we have a mini party for them before they go off to watch a film. We have party games and it’s so much fun – some good ideas here that I’ve not tried before so will add them to our plans 🙂
