Little ones can't always stay up until midnight, but they can still have the best New Year's Eve. Here are easy New Year's Eve ideas for kids that the whole family will love.
1. A "Noon Year's Eve" countdown
Celebrate at 12:00 noon instead of midnight. Do a big countdown, cheer, and toss confetti. Kids get the fun and still go to bed on time.
2. A balloon drop
Fill a big bag or tablecloth with balloons, tape it to the ceiling, and release it at the countdown. Easy and kids go wild for it.
3. A time capsule
Have each kid draw a picture, write their favorite things this year and their height. Seal it and open it next New Year's Eve.
4. A family wishes jar
Everyone writes one wish for the new year on a paper and puts it in a jar. Read them together next year.
5. A New Year's message from their favorite character

Start the year with a personalized video where Bluey, Spidey or their favorite character says their name and wishes them a happy new year. Write your own New Year's message when you order.
