Happy New Year! Activities for Kids

Red Ted Art's Blog has a bunch of great, easy New Year's crafts for kids to work on today for New Year's parties.

You could blow up a bunch of balloons and hang them up in a stuffed toy netting and release them when the New Year's ball drops (which in our house was usually much earlier than midnight!). Or try this craft to make Christmas crackers, which releases confetti and small toys (just wrap some toys you have at home already): Christmas crackers

And finally, here's a fun song to sing to ring in the New Year with your kids:

Ring The Bells (Sung to Row Row Row Your Boat)(Give each child a set of bells)

Ring ring ring the bells

Ring them loud and clear

Let's tell everyone around

That the New Year is here!!
