Can toddlers celebrate New Year's Eve?

 

Of course toddlers can celebrate! For our New Year's Eve celebrations we love to party earlier in the day or late afternoon so that kids get all of the excitement out of the way before bedtime. 

 

With all of the crazy holiday events and schedules, it is nice to get little ones to bed decently early on New Year's Eve and start out the New Year with happy kids, versus overtired ones.

 

How can you make New Year's Eve fun for toddlers?

 

Keep things simple. We've selected twelve activities that we like to do each New Year's Eve. Many of them get little ones moving around or exploring their senses. They aren't complicated and don't require kids to follow any specific instructions. I prefer activities and art projects that are open ended and process focused.
