Planning a children's party soon, but it's going to rain? That's a bummer, but you can still do many fun activities to make it a successful party. We have 6 ideas for a rainy day children's party lined up for you.
1. Home Cinema/Cinema
A home cinema is always a hit with children. Let the birthday child choose the movie, provide popcorn, drinks, and sweets, and create a cozy cinema experience at home. For example, lay a mattress, pillows, and blankets on the floor and dim the lights. This way, you really create a cozy afternoon at home. Of course, you can always go to a cinema for the real cinema experience.
2. Bowling
For an extra festive effect, check when the bowling alley near you has disco bowling. Provide bumpers along the lane for the children who need them to make it a successful day.
3. Indoor Play Paradise
An indoor play paradise is the perfect place for kids to burn off their energy. Spend the whole day climbing, scrambling, and sliding in a safe and covered environment. Many play paradises also offer special party packages, including food and drinks. Think, for example, of the indoor indoor playground Monkeytown! They have multiple locations within the Netherlands.
4. Swimming
If the kids are the right age, you can organize a swimming party. At a covered swimming pool near you, the kids can swim all afternoon and slide down the slide. At the end of the day, you can treat everyone to fries or another tasty treat.
5. Cooking or Baking
A cooking or baking feast is a fun and educational way to keep children busy. Let them make their own pizzas, decorate cupcakes, or bake cookies. It's not only fun, but the end result is also delicious.
6. Crafting
A rainy day is the ideal time to be creative. Set up craft tables with finger paint, colored pencils, paper, and other craft supplies. Let the children create their own artworks or make the same craft project together.
Is the birthday child celebrating in the fall? Then it's very nice to craft with, for example, chestnuts or acorns that you've collected in the forest beforehand.
