How to Keep Kids Engaged Before the Entertainment Arrives
Worried about saying, “Uh oh! Let’s save the cake for later”?
So you’ve planned the ins-and-outs of your child’s party but suddenly find yourself wondering, “How will I keep the kids engaged before the entertainment arrives?”
This is a common question, so keep reading for a solution that will take some of the pressure off and have the kids smiling from ear to ear!
Let’s say you called the party for 11:00 am. On average, only 25% of guests will arrive at 11:00 am. The rest will arrive closer to 11:15 / 11:20 am.
Keeping 10, 15, 20+ kids safe, occupied and happy as they arrive is no easy task!
