Did You Know That Kids Like to Celebrate New Year's Too?

The first couple of weeks in the New Year everyone reflects on the past year... What was good, what can be improved, what was no so good. This week's web sites have activities for reflection; i.e. resolutions, crafts, baking, etc.

Crafts - For us, New Year’s Eve is always family time, filled with sparkling cider, party poppers, and LOTS of fun crafts and activities to keep us busy all night long! It’s one of my favorite holidays to celebrate with my family, and I love spending this time sharing our favorite memories and planning our new year together.

Fun Food - We always have a lot of fun and try new activities throughout the day to make it special. I’ve pulled together some of my favorites, and one I’m looking forward to trying out. I hope you’ll be inspired to share New Year’s Eve activities for kids with your family, and to enjoy creating and exploring together with them.
