I have a confession to make. Since I’ve been married, we have never had a New Years Eve party. In fact, I don’t think we’ve even let the kids stay up until midnight before. Shame on me, right? This year will be different! Since I’ve been searching for family New Years Eve ideas, I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you. I’ve collected more than 40 New Years Eve Party Ideas for Kids. Have fun!

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a Happy New Year! While you’re here, check out some of my other ideas. The images below are linked to posts. (Just click on the image to visit the post.)
What a great collection, thank you so much for including my printables! Pinning for sure! Happy New Year!
You’re welcome, Laura. You always have such great ideas! (I wish I could have included images for every post, but I had to simplify so that I could spend time with my family for the holidays.)
Oh goodness don’t worry about that, never would have occurred to me! Just happy to be included! Thank you for the kind compliment, the same goes for you! :) Hope you have a great New Year! :)
I LOVE this! So many fantastic ideas – thanks for pulling them all together so nicely!
You’re welcome, Kimber. Now I just have to pick which ones to use this year!
We always count down to 7:30, so everyone can still get to bed on time. Boring? Maybe, but it works for us for now. :) I imagine it won’t always, though! I love these fantastic ideas, we’ll definitely use some of the decoration/crafty ideas for our family party. Thanks for sharing!
7:30 sounds like a great idea to me, Heidi. My oldest is 13, so I think it’s time we started letting the kids stay up and making a big deal out of it. We’ll see how it goes!
Wow! A ton of ideas! I love the animal party blowers- so fun!
I know. Aren’t those fun? Now I have to decide which I’ll pick to do with my family.
So many fun ideas! I think we’re going to make some crackers tomorrow, just in time for NYE. Thanks for including our Party Slime and Party Horn Skyscrapers.
You’re welcome, Anne. Have fun with the crackers, and I love your ideas!
Thank you so much for including my New Year’s Eve word search. Happy New Year!!!
You’re welcome, Cindy. Happy New Year to you, too!
Thanks for all the ideas! It is always more fun when the entire family can celebrate together!
Definitely, Taralyn! I hope you and your family had a fun night together.
Hi Heidi, I love all the great ideas! Thanks for including 2 of our New Years Eve posts from A Little Pinch of Perfect! I hope 2015 is a wonderful year for you and your family!
You’re welcome, Katie! You have great ideas. Happy New Year to you, too!
