Where can I have a Frozen party that kids will love?
Finding a venue for a holiday party is sometimes the most difficult part of planning a party. It’s important to choose a location well in advance as the holiday season is busy and venues often fill up quickly. Make sure to call the venue at least one month in advance so you have more choice in choosing the perfect date. Check school schedules to see when kids are on their holiday breaks and choose a time when parents would be available for pickup and drop off! When booking a date, keep in mind that some venues have party deals that include food and a cake, and some venues don’t allow you to bring your own food. To save on a venue, opt out of the all-inclusive packages and prepare your own party supplies! Thinking back to the Frozen theme, what great places could meet all the chilly needs of this party?

Give the kids a choice of which beads to use and color string and then let them go to work on their craft.
In another section of the party you can have a group activity where the guest will really shine! Face painting is a great activity and the Frozen theme really comes out in the activity.

Awesome Crafts
If your kids aren’t interested in crafts then there is always the option of group games! The Blizzard Game is great for all ages. Make teams of at least three kids and have the teams push ping pong balls from one end of the room to the other using a broom. The kids will get a kick out of directing the “snow balls” towards the finish line. A Frozen themed scavenger hunt is another great game idea! Simply hide mini Olafs (snowmen made by gluing three cotton balls together and attaching googly-eyes to the top one) all throughout the party.
This game can be played throughout the course of the party where guests can continually be searching for the hiding snowmen in hard to find places. It can also be played in a set time and whoever finds the most and the end of the time wins! The player with the most snowmen can receive their very own Olaf to take home (Target.com $7.99). Activities and games are a great way to get kids into the Frozen spirit but all this fun will be sure to make the kiddos hungry for some Frozen themed snacks!
