Whether you prefer to celebrate when the clock strikes midnight or you like to party with the kids on Noon Year's Eve instead, the ideas I'll be sharing with you will work for both. Grab your noisemaker, put on a party hat, and get ready to celebrate!
New Year's Eve Party Backdrop
The main feature of our kids' New Year's Eve party was the incredible pastel DIY New Year's Streamer Backdrop that says "Let's Make Some Noise." That's what the evening is all about for the kiddos, right? What's even better is that this backdrop is super easy to make!
The pastel colors of the backdrop echoed the colors on the party table. I love how the word NOISE was all lit up and ready to party! See how I made this DIY New Year's Stream Backdrop here.
New Year's Eve Party Table
I wanted to ditch the traditional black and gold New Year's Eve colors and mix it up with some pretty pastels. These pastel dinner plates, appetizer plates, and napkins were just right for our colorful bash.
Touches of gold and silver were added throughout the party to add a bit of glitz. Metallic gold cups and silver disco ball drink stirrers added some shimmer and shine to the table. Cheerful gold stars were sprinkled across the table like confetti.
At each place setting a colorful party horns with gold trim and confetti poppers were waiting for the kids.
Bright little pails sat near each plate with Free Printable Labels that said "Let's Make Some Noise." Each pail was filled with all sorts of noisemakers, like whistles, blowers, hand clappers, kazoos, maracas, and more. When it turned midnight, the kids were more than ready to celebrate with all these goodies!
Down the center of the table was even more New Year's fun. Pails were filled with New Year's Eve glasses, push up pom-pom poppers, tattoos, and party horns.
DIY Play Dough Bar
Kids love play dough and glitter, so why not combine them for a DIY Play Dough Bar?
Plastic paint palettes were filled with sequins, glitter, and gold stars so the kids could make their own custom play dough!

New Year's Eve Kids Craft
Besides making their own customized play dough, the kids were able to create New Year's Eve Frames complete with gold flecks, glitter, and stars.
Inside each wood frame the kids wrote down their wish for the new year and drew a picture to go with it. Get the free printable and see the step-by-step tutorial to make your own DIY New Year's Eve Frame.
I hope you enjoyed our fun, pastel party! Crafting fun projects, making noise, and creating memories are the perfect way to spend Noon Year's Eve or New Year's Eve with the kiddos this year.
