New Year's Eve: Family Fun in Milton & How You Can Throw A Kiddie-Friendly Bash at Home

As your tummy recovers from the deliciousness of the Christmas food feast and you stare at the presents strewn all over your living room; you might be starting to think of what to do on New Year's Eve. momstown Milton is here to help. 

Looking for family fun activities in the Milton area? 

Conservation Halton's New Year's Eve Hoopla is an evening of family-fun activity on December 31, 2012! With a wagon ride, puppet show, and more, there's something for everyone. Check out Conservation Halton for details.

The Town of Milton is holding its annual bell ringing on December 31, 2012 in Victoria Park from 11:45pm-12:15am. All are welcome to join Mayor Krantz for this Milton tradition since 1967!


Looking to celebrate New Year's at home with your kiddies? 

Throw a New Year's Eve kiddie-centric party at your place that will have your children laughing with delight as you countdown to the New Year.  Little ones can't stay up until midnight? Do that countdown hours earlier to coincide with their bedtime. 

Here are some kiddie-friendly activities that can help ring in the New Year in style! 

1. Sing-a-long - if your cable provider has a karaoke channel on demand, then that's always a great resource. But if not, blare your favourite tunes (maybe dig out that 101 Sing-Along Songs CD) that's been hibernating for awhile and sing to your heart's content.

2. Dress-Up -  Get out that costume trunk or transform some old clothes into fashion for the dress-up runway. A white dress or T-shirt can transform into an angel costume by adding some fairy wings. Or cut down the legs of old black pants into a triangular shape to create pirate pants.

Add some face painting if you wish. Click here for a make-your-own face painting recipe. 

3. New Year's Eve Sparkly Crowns -  Once your little pirate or princess is dressed to impress, it's time to create a crown worthy of the occasion. Click here for easy-to-make crowns that will leave your child feeling extra special!

4. Glitter New Year's Craft - Get your kiddies to create a glittery firework display to rival the night skies right on construction paper! Click here on how your kiddies can make their very own fireworks explosion. 

5. Toast the New Year with milk, water, or apple juice! Clink those little bottles, sippy cups, glasses together and toast the new year in style with your little one.
