| Rocket Popper Activity for Children. |
Fill this with confetti or feathers. Ours is filled with colorful, recycled silk flowers from a craft lei project. Perfect for New Years, VBS, or, a Fourth of July Party.
 |
| Midnight Care Package New Year Activity. |
We used a tiny jewelry box. Tag reads, "Do not open until Midnight - 12/31/12". Fill this with a fun gift for the kiddos or make it a Midnight Care Package by filling it with a noise maker/kazoo, a pair of silly glasses, and a party hat.

| Make a bell from a paper cup. |
Recycle a paper cup, plastic spoon, holiday ornament or that jingle bell necklace into a fun kid-crafted bell noisemaker for the year-end celebration.

A clear glass or plastic ornament makes a fun party favor.
New Year's Necklace/Medallion
 |
| New Year Medallion a recycled Christmas decoration. |
Paint an old, plastic holiday ornament with sparkles and the New Year date. Insert a shiny ribbon or string and you've got a fun, memento. Boy's like to wear necklaces too so this is a fun project they can personalize anyway they want.
Easy, Sparkly Ornaments to Deck the Halls
 |
| Transform Christmas Balls to sparkly New Year Decorations. |
Give that Gold or Silver ball ornament new life. Add a sparkly, spiraled pipe-cleaner to hang and paint with glitter glue. We added a gold leaf from an old, holiday decoration to give it a little whimsy.
Fun Ball Drop Whirly-Gig Silent Spin Drum
 |
Fun New Year activity for kids.
Craft a whirly-gig with preschoolers.
|
Popsicle sticks and styrofoam make for fun! Paint a styrofoam ball of any size, paint any color you like (be patient paint takes forever to dry on styrofoam). Add glitter. Pop in the stick and decorate to your hearts content. We added a silver pipe-cleaner and silver, star garland to hang. Add feathers and spin in your hands like a spin drum or hang upside down in the doorway as a festive replacement for mistletoe. The kiddos can pretend to let the ball drop if you attach a long string over a hanger.
Tip: Add tiny pieces of mirror (Find sticky back pieces at Craft Stores) to a styrofoam ball to make a Disco Ball decoration.
