Fun-Filled Holiday Parties with an Interactive Nature!

1 – Cookie Decorating Party – Cookies are everywhere come Christmastime. So why not have the kiddies decorate their own? Make it extra fun by having a theme, like this Elf Bakery Party we found on Crissy Crafts—featuring a darling printable collection by Bird’s Party.

2 – Tree Decorating Party – A holiday highlight in every home is the trimming of the Christmas tree. Simply carry this tradition over into a party setting—gorgeously color coordinated, if you wish, as shown on A Blissful Nest—and the children will be thrilled!

3 – Gingerbread House Decorating Party – Check out this fabulous party from Paisley Petal Events that uses graham crackers (a clever substitute for gingerbread!), candies in every color for decorating, and delightful holiday printables from 505 Design.

4 – Paper Crafting Party – This whimsical table setting from our friend Dinah of DIY Inspired is almost entirely crafted from paper! So with the great how-to tips in her post, you could actually get the little ones to make their own paper doilies, napkin rings, and bottle labels.

5 – Card Making Station – Thanks to the preschool teacher behind the blog Mom to 2 Posh Li’l Divas, here’s this totally doable party idea. Gather dollar store Christmas cards, markers, crayons, and stickers and let the little tykes design their own greetings to family and friends!

6 – Holiday Crafts Party – To be sure that every child gets to create a fun holiday craft, plan one as sweet and simple as this coffee filter Christmas tree, courtesy of HGTV. Love the delicate ombre effect!

7 – Letters to Santa Party – Imagine the kiddos’ delight at finding an entire station at the party for writing letters to Santa! That’s just what we discovered via Bridgey Widgey, complete with writing supplies and a colorful array of sweet treats.

Boy, would we love to be the busy little guests at any one of these holiday gatherings!
