New Years Eve Ideas for Kids

September 7, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, New Year's Eve, Party, Pinterest, Seasonal, Social Media

Let’s all say good-bye to the past year with these New Year’s Eve Ideas for Kids. Ring in the New Year with memorable New Year’s Eve recipes, crafts, activities, games, printables & more.

Anyone else ready to jump into the new year…. see you later last year! Bring on the new year. Let’s home for something different. Whether you are celebrating 2021, 2022 (or whatever year we might now be in), we have some of the best New Year’s Eve Ideas for Kids. These can be for toddlers who are in bed with the sun or for older kids who will welcome in the new year at midnight. And let’s be honest, these fanstic fun activities and ideas are for adults too. Create family traditions with these New Year’s Eve ideas for kids (and adults too)!

Happy New Year!

Tips for Young Kids: Toddlers and young children do not have to stay up until midnight. You can still reenact a kid-friendly countdown just in a shorter period of time. For example, make the hour change every 10 mintues or 30 minutes based on when you start and want to end. Obviously, they have no idea of the real time. It can still be a memorable day and family tradition with earlier hours.

Charades Cards

New Year Celebrations have to include a memorable game. We created this New Year’s Eve Charades Game. We included 18 charades cards as well as 9 fill in the blank cards. You can print the blank cards as much as you want created as large of a game as you need or want. In your blank cards add either family memories (if playing with your immediate family) or add trending year events (if playing with a larger group of friends.)

How to Play Charades

Charades can be played with any type of word or phrase. There are two sets of rules for charades games. You can play based on points or based on time.

Charades based on points

Split into two teams. On each teams turn, one person acts out a topic for their teammates to guess. They cannot use any words. Use a clock to track the time, giving each person two to three minutes for their turn. If the team guesses the charade in a set amount of time, give the team one point. If they do not guess correctly, they get zero points added to their score. At the end of all the rounds, the team with the most points wins.

Charades based on time

Split into two teams. On each teams turn, one person acts out a topic for their teammates to guess. They cannot use any words. Use a clock to track the time, giving each person two to three minutes for their turn. If the team guesses the charade in a set amount of time, at that time is added to their score. If they do not guess correctly, the full time is added to their score. At the end of all the rounds, the team with the shortest time wins.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Not to brag or anything but after five kids, I still fit in my maternity clothes! – Ha!

In all seriousness, I was seriously wearing a maternity shirt recently and need to replace it (because i am not pregnant, nor am I have more kids.) Not wanting too spend too much, I took advantage of this Black Long Sleeve Top. I loved that it was Rayon and Spandex. That meant stretch and it would fit nicely under vest, ponchos, etc. The perfect winter staple.

It came very quickly – it might have only been one day for me and you guys, I loved it! I quickly ordered another in a different color and style, a Coffee Long Sleeve Turtleneck top. I will keep you posted.

Update: I don’t prefer the turtleneck. It will be good under a top, but I would have been fine passing – wink!

Anyways, I wanted to quickly share it with you because when you find a winner, you tell others, right?!?!

Baby Elf on the Shelf

Have you ever wanted to have Two Elf on the Shelf Dolls? If you are looking for Elf on the Shelf Ideas with multiple elves, the first way to welcome a new Elf in the home is with Elf on the Shelf Babies. The end of the year is the great time to introduce a baby Elf on the Shelf and next year that baby becomes a real, second Elf on the Shelf.

Can Elf on the Shelf have babies?

Of course Elf on the Shelf can have babies! Sometimes they are their own babies or sometimes they are elves in training. To introduce a Baby Elf on the Shelf, first you have to know where to buy one. Second you want baby Elf on the Shelf accessories. So let’s go…

Elf on the Shelf Babies for Sale

Let’s talk about where to buy Elf on the Shelf Babies. Unfortunately, the Original Elf on the Shelf Company does not sell Elf babies. You can get knock-off Elf babies online. Two places I find they have the cutest babies are on Etsy and Amazon. I find a Baby Elf on the Shelf on Amazon will come to your home quicker.

This is the Girl Elf Baby we adopted in our home and she was so cute, squishy and soft. It also came with tiny baby elf on the shelf accessories.

How to Make a Baby Elf on the Shelf Welcome in the Home

There are a few ways to welcome a Baby Elf on the Shelf in the home. You could start with our free printable Elf on the Shelf adoption certificate. With that Idea, add our free printable It’s a Girl Elf on the Shelf.

For our Elf on the Shelf extremists, make sure to add this baby nursery for your Elf doll (from Barbie.) We think this will make your Elf baby comfortable all season long.

Eventually your Elf baby might grow up. For example, you have a baby Elf for one year and the next year that Elf baby arrives as a second Elf. Follow these Elf on the Shelf Ideas for Multiple Elves if your baby grows up.

Growing up, my grandfather always read The Night Before Christmas, but now with our kids the books have changed. Some of our favorites are Humphrey’s First Christmas (SERIOUSLY a must!), Christmas in the Manger Board Book and another must (especially for young kids) Who Is Coming to Our House? We put together some of the top 50 Christmas books for Children this holiday season.
