I'm planning my son's 3rd bday party for late October and would like some ideas for crafts or games to do with the kids. The party will be at home and there will only be about 5-6 kids there (ranging from 2-6 years old). He wants a Wall-E bday so I bought all decorations for that but the games don't have to be part of that theme. Thanks for any ideas.

So What Happened?

The cupcake idea keeps coming up so I think I'll try that since i was planning on making cupcakes anyway and already bought Wall-E cupcake holders and toppers so it will go with the theme. Also like some of the musical games. Thanks to everyone for your ideas. Keep them coming, I still have a month to go :)

Last year, for my son's 2nd bday, I let the kids play for awhile, just like a playdate, then we had pizza. After that, I let them decorate their own cupcakes--they loved it!!! I got a few different colors of icing, plus a variety of "toppings" (sprinkles, mini m&ms, etc.) Each child decorated two--one to eat right away, and one to take home. They felt so grown-up decorating their own cakes. I might do the same thing again this year because it was such a hit. Good luck with whatever you do, and have fun!

You may want to do some food related games--make your own pizza or make your own cupcakes. Another fun thing is musical chairs. if you are planning outside entertainment, music together does great parties.

Hi D.
Kids love to make instruments and then have a marching band. It is also fun to watch them as you march with them. Easy loud instruments are always best for the children, however, not for moms prone to headaches, unless of course you can be outside.
I would stay away from competitive/winner games because you end up with crying kids. That is truly never fun for anyone.
Decorating cookies or cupcakes is also lots of fun for kids but be sure to have plenty of everything so that no one has to settle for what no one else chose. I found setting it up as an assembly line worked best for me, going on both sides of a table with at least 2 spoons in each. Let them go around peanuts if they don't want and someone is taking time with nuts. Also be sure to ask about allergies.
Congratulations on having a party.
Have a great day
Hope you get lots of ideas
K.

Your theme works out wonderfuly for your age group. I'm thinking if you have the time you can cut out a bunch of simple shapes ( harder ones too, if you feel like), snag a handful of clue stick and all "build" your own robots. Or even go as far as string, paper cups and maybe popcicle sticks with real glue. Just a couple ideas that came right away. Good luck and have fun!!

With 2-6 year olds its fun. Coloring pages are the best. Limbo is a great game to play with them and fun; they also enjoy pin the tail on the donkey. Bingo is a great game we played with my kids and their friends, and then I had a little prize for the winner. If you want to; have cupcakes and let them put the frosting on it and decorate it, it'll be a little messy but they will enjoy that aswell. Finger painting is also good for them. Even painting some masks is something they might enjoy. I hope I helped you a little and you all have a blast. Happy Bithday to your son!
