100+ New Years Eve Activities for Kids

 This is a super busy season for my family.  It feels like we’ve whipped through the time between Canadian Thanksgiving and now!  It’s funny how much I focused on Ava’s first birthday and Christmas that I didn’t even think to plan anything for New Years Eve with the girls.  (Who will be celebrating midnight at about 7 pm!) With that in mind I know I can’t be the only one who tends to leave New Years Eve party planning for last minute so I searched around and found a ton of amazing and fun ideas for celebrating New Years Eve with Kids.  There are plenty of ideas and activities to chose from and most can be done last minute!  Planning a New Years Eve party for kids just couldn’t get any easier!
