Thread: How To Ideas Please- Adult AND Kids Party Together

Tweet

Last year I made an assortment of Plaster of Paris molds: cats, pumpkins, tombstones, mice, etc. and provided paints and brushes to decorate. Was a huge hit and kept the kids busy for a long time. Only downside was that the only paint that works without just sinking into the plaster is acrylic (not very washable) so asked everyone to bring an old shirt to put over their costume and had the paint area set up in the garage. Dollar Store usually has small trays of 5 paint colors, and Plaster of Pairs is cheap at home stores like Menards. Molds were the biggest cost, but they are reusable!
We also had a kid's tv room and played episodes of The Munsters.

We always do a adult/kid party.
alot of parents won't come without there kids.I was one of them I can count on one hand the times I left my child for something other than work.If he couldn't go we didn't go.He is now 18 and we are very close.Not saying leaving children with a babysitter is bad at all-I just didn't want to.So we have always had kids are welcome party's.
We do a hayride-carve pumpkins-have a pinate-do a pre party for the kids to warm up to the adult party.We play group dance songs and the kids get into it.Then they go off to play -watch movies or play video games.
