Whatever time you decide to start, you need a balloon for every hour until midnight. Of course, if you’re kids are already whining, “I’m bored!” at 10 AM, you could always start it earlier. If you just don’t feel like being the circus master of entertainment so early, you can start it later. If you have to work, you can start it later. I figured at least starting the countdown early might cut down on that. We decided to start at noon, because my kids spend all day, every day asking me to entertain them anyway. Setting up your New Year’s Eve Countdown Balloons Decide what time you want your New Year’s Eve countdown activities to start. Pop the balloon, do the activity, repeat until midnight. Our New Year’s Eve Countdown Balloons! (It wasn’t the most elegant arrangement, but it worked perfectly!)Įach balloon contains a special countdown activity for the kids to do. If you don’t trust them, pop the hourly balloon yourself. Every hour, on the hour, let one of your kids pop a balloon, assuming you trust them with a safety pin or sharp point. Set up your balloons and arrange them in a clock-like circle. How the New Year’s Eve Countdown Activity Balloons Work (in short) We already did a lot of kids’ activities on New Year’s Eve in years prior, but I decided to kick it up a notch by putting together a balloon clock of New Year’s Eve countdown activities for my kids. I wanted to make the holidays extra special and fun because the kids had given up so much with schools and activities shut down. With the Hot Mess Express that was 2020, we did alllllll the holiday things around here. BUT… since the kids love New Years’s Eve, and two of mine are old enough to actually stay up the whole time, I’ve tried to embrace it. With four kids, I’m pretty much perpetually exhausted and love to hit my bed before 10:00 PM. As an adult, I could take or leave New Year’s Eve. From staying up late, to the snacks, to the special New Year’s Eve countdown activities we do with them each year – they love it all! My kids LOVE everything about New Year’s Eve.
