All my sons nursery school friends are having plush bouncy castle parties a thalls and things, but being on an limited budget (would much rather spend £60 on his present rather than hire of bouncy castle and a venue) I have invited a few of his round round to the house. At that age it is impossible for them to keep still for musical statues so I will start with one ball pond ball per child and then take one away each time the music stops whoever has gets the last ball wins, will also do the standard pass the parcel but would like some new and novel ideas to make it fun for him and his friends please. Ellie :D

Thanks for explaining, yes as it mainly boys I should imagine heads would get hit hard, room for the running round though, but will probably give it a miss, so so far I am on the original pass the parcel, musical chairs, and the ball game. I think he will have fun with heis friends anyway, whatever I do. Ellie :D

Thank you so much for all your help and advice, will definately go along with the Sportacus theme especialyy as I have bought him the arm band things he wears and a friend is making a costume. Well done you I wouldn't have even thought to do that and the balloon popping one sounds like fantastic fun. Many thanks once again. Ellie :D

After reading other discussions, I found that you want to have an indoor party. If you have a white board or pinup board, then draw a cat. Tie the eyes of the kids with a towel and take them to the board. As the kids to draw the tail of the cat. It is real fun to see the other kids giggling and teasing when one is drawing the tail.
Tie up blowed ballons on their backs and you could ask them to save theirs but break others. They will really have great fun.
Play peekaboo in a different way. You could hide some toffees and cookies in some places and could tell the kids some clues and they could search for it. You will see kids sqealing with lots of excitement.

Hi Thank you so much for your input. I will definately do the peek-a-boo hiding one with small gifts and sweets thats sounds like fun. Even though I don't fraw I can draw cats so will do that one too. Think I will give balloon one a miss as they are boisterous boys so don't want too much rough and tumble. Great ideas, appreciated. Ellie :D

No of course I don't mind that what this site is all about, sharing thoughts and ideas. How old is your daughter going to be? I have two daughters but they are 21 and almost 17 so its a few years since I have had to organise anything for little ones. For my daughters 21st she wanted a silver and pink colour theme and choloclate fountains with strawberries and marshmallows. We hired a dj and hall and she had a fabulous time. They put happy 21st banners across the bridge so she saw it as she arrived in town. Ellie :D

Hey how bout the ol clothes pins and the bottle game? You hold clothes-pins bout chin level, then see how many you can drop in a bottle.(Of course the bottle has to have a semi-small hole in the top). I think that game is good for just about any age. Hope he has fun,fun,fun! :o)

Hi Thank you so much for your suggestion and yes I'm suree he will have fun, at this age everyday is fun to them isn't, just the joy of being a child, but his birthday day he will just be so excited bless, I can't wait but at the same time my baby boy is growing up so fast only seems five mins ago rather than nearly four years I was holding him as a newborn. Just where do all the yeasr go? Ellie :D
