Alien New Year's Party!

Kids love to celebrate New Year's Eve! A fun theme for a kid's New Year's Eve party is Aliens and Outerspace! Lots of glowing decorations and fun activities will make it a night to remember.

And now that we're in the 21st Century, who knows what awaits??

New Year's Decorations and Party Supplies

You will want to make the kids feel like they left Earth and are traveling among the stars! This party works best in a large empty room, so clear out any furniture so there is plenty of room to move around! Or better yet, get the party room at your Children's Museum, or at the Science Museum, where kids can marvel at the wonders of air and space.

Start by covering the room with glow star gossamer; it is inexpensive, and will make a dramatic impression. Continue the glowing star theme with balloon bouquets made from glowing star balloons and neon green balloons. You can place them near the entrance, on the tables, and in the corners of the room; anywhere you need a little decoration! If you are feeling adventurous, why not make a balloon arch to put at the entrance to the party? Set up several black lights, and all of the glow-in-the-dark elements will shine brightly!

Make signs from black poster board and glow in the dark paint. Do a few directional signs, "Venus: 25 million miles ahead", and a landmark sign or two; Mons Huygens (largest mountain on the moon) or Andromeda Galaxy (our closest galaxy neighbor). You can even paint large styrofoam balls (from the craft store) like planets and moons. Don't forget to include some fun facts about the celestial bodies. Yay for educational decorations!

Twinkle lights and a starlight sphere or two in the hallways will create a beautiful tunnel of light. A paper hallway runner with glow in the dark "alien footprints" painted on it would be fun as well, just make sure it is secure so no one trips! Set the mood with some "space" music. The soundtrack from Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Apollo 13 is perfect.

• Start by covering your tables with black craft paper. Set out glow-in-the-dark crayons so the kids can doodle while they eat.

• Scatter some glow stars across the table and the buffet if you are having one.

• Disposable tableware makes clean up a snap. Green or blue will look good against the black tables.
