Grab plain treat bags and write the time on it. Each hour (depending on when you start will be how many you make), have a fun treat inside the bag. Ideas to include are glow sticks, silly string, confetti wands, party poppers, noisemakers, pop rocks or rock candy crystal sticks.

Most of us have hours of home videos, but how often do we look at them? Spend the last evening of the year looking back as your family's great moments. This might take a little prep, finding the videos, but it'll be fun to relive first steps, school plays and family vacations. Make it a real movie experience by making popcorn and getting theater-style candy, Familyeducation said.
5. Play dress-up

Pull that vintage little black dress out from the back of your closet. Dust off your sharpest suit. Gussy up your kids. Your night will feel special and fun if you get dolled up for it—plus it will make for excellent pictures for that family photo album.
Feel free to be over the top: White gloves, pearls, bow ties and tiaras are easily found at your local party store, in your kids’ dress-up trunk or, if you’re really lucky, in grandma’s closet. Paint everyone’s nails. Wear hats. Break out the glitter and get fancy! If you’re heading out to celebrate, let the kids dress themselves—it’ll be less fuss and it will get them excited for the big night, according to Todaysparent.
6. Midnight in another country

If your kids are small, it's hard to keep them up for midnight festivities. So celebrate midnight in another country, when it's still early in your part of the world. Get in the spirit by playing music and serving food from that country. You could celebrate the New Year in Paris, Greenland or even the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (with an underwater theme).

| One is never too early for learning goal setting. It’s great for our kids to dream big dreams and see them to fruition. Help your children think through the things that they’d like to learn, see, visit, earn, and do in the new year. Be sure to let them dream big and then think through how to accomplish their goals. You’d be surprised what you can do together, according to Lifeasmom. |
