Ah – remember the good ole days of celebrating New Year’s Eve into the early morning hours, before having kids? Me too. While I fondly remember those days, they’re long behind me. We love to celebrate New Year’s Eve as a family and the kids want to participate too. Since kids can’t stay up until midnight, try these fun Noon Years Eve party ideas – and count down to 12pm instead of am!
I’m all about traditional New Year’s Eve traditions, like eating my Black Eyed Peas, but I love the idea of doing a family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebration in a way that kids can understand. Kids are aware that there’s a countdown and that’s what is most important to them. They want to feel the rush and excitement that comes along with the countdown.
The fun about Noon Year’s Eve is creating that same hype, for the kids, without the unreasonable hour. In all honestly, I’ve grown to love it just as much as them. Invite some cousins or neighborhood kids over and turn it into a real party. These fun games, recipes, and party supplies, are the perfect way to research your Noon Year’s Eve party ideas.
