Pull the draw strings loosely shut but do not tie the drawstrings on the garbage bag. Blow up smaller balloons and add these to the bag as well (or add the ball pit balls if using these instead). Stuff the paper and tissue paper into the garbage bag. Repeat ripping with the tissue paper as well. The more pieces you use the bigger the confetti drop (and the bigger the clean-up).

Repeat this with as many colors and pieces of construction paper as desired (I used 8 pieces).

Give your child construction paper in all different colors and show them how to rip up the large sheets into smaller pieces. This is a great activity for working on toddler fine motor and ripping skills.

Then you simply draw the clock hands on each bag to represent each hour of the evening you want to have an activity for the family and kids to do together.

I have provided them for you as a free download if you are interested. I took some mini party sacks that I picked up from Hobby Lobby and glued some tags with clock faces on them. The concept behind these Countdown Activity Bags is fairly simple. We play games all night and just enjoy ringing in the New Year in each other’s company. We usually have a low key party with the family and their cousins. I loved the whole concept behind the activity bags and thought it would be a great way to keep the evening fun. I didn’t have time to implement them into our New Year’s Eve Party for 2011 but wanted to make sure that I made some for this year’s party. Last year I saw a bunch of people posting about these fun New Year’s Eve Countdown Activity bags. *Update – Download the 2013 version of the New Years Eve Countdown Activity Bags here: New Years Eve Countdown Activity Bags 2013 After you become a fan you will need to click on “ Get your free gift” in the upper right hand corner of the Idea Room FB page and then click on “ Previous Downloads”. *If you are not a fan of The Idea Room on Facebook, you will need to click like first and become a fan. *Update –Download the 2014 version of the New Years Eve Countdown Activity Bags here: New Years Eve Countdown Activity Bags 2014 *Updated 2015+ Versions here: New Years Eve Activity Countdown Bags
