Craft and Activity Ideas
DIY craft kits keep younger guests engaged during quieter moments, and party crafts double as take-home favours — a win for both kids and parents.
Choosing Games by Age Group
Younger children (ages 3–6) do best with simple, low-competition games, while older kids (7+) can handle more structured games with winners and prizes.
FAQs
