It wouldn't be New Years Eve without elaborate party hats. 
Purchase several paint caps from your local paint or hardware store.
Party guests will use permanent markers or gel pens, feathers, and other adornments to embellish their own hat. For fast drying time, use a glue gun when necessary. Then have a contest for the 
funniest, most exotic, creative etc...  

Create a family digest of the year gone by. Use printer paper, a three hole punch, construction paper and a glue stick to construct and decorate your book. Add family photos taken throughout the year. Mom, Dad or older children can write the captions.

Have a search for hidden party poppers. You can make your own with
cardboard TP rolls and wrapping paper, or purchase them in the holiday section of most stores.

Camp out in your family room and merely enjoy each others company.

Create a "Time Capsule" with an empty tennis ball container.
Fill the inside with pictures, mementos, and comments about what is currently happening in the world and with your family. Go out and bury 
it in the back yard.

Board Game Mix Up - My kids love this !
Combine several board game pieces and rules to create a new game.

Make a tent in the living room big enough for everyone to sleep in.

Play traditional parlor games such as 20 questions, Who Am I and 
"I'm going on a trip..."

You can also provide several board games, craft supplies, movies,
fun treats and just enjoy each other's company.

New Year's Eve Party Treats for Kids
When entertaining kids at your New Years party, you'll want to provide snacks and food geared to their taste-buds.

Make sandwiches and then use star cookie cutters to cut the sandwiches. 
 The same can be done with a cheese and cracker plate.

Of course pizza is always a hit! If you have the space and inclination,
  supply your party guests with the makings for English muffin pizzas or
  pre-made pizza crusts to build their own pizza.
  You'll need: English Muffins, marinara sauce and toppings; pineapple, 
  cheese, ham, sausage or pepperoni , olives etc.

Serve vegetables and dip. If you have time, use different veggies to
  shape the numbers 2007, on a large platter of lettuce.

Older kids love chocolate and cheese fondue. Whip up a batch and
  don't forget the napkins.

It's easy to make a punch for kids. Two days before the party make an
  ice ring filled with fruit or colored juice. Combine a favorite juice and
  lemon-lime soda in a punch bowl. Add the ice ring to keep the punch chilled.

Italian sodas will be a festive touch to your New Years Party.
  Get creative when buying the syrups to keep things colorful. Older kids can 
  certainly make their own sodas. Be sure to provide clear cups.

Have a fun, safe an wonderful new year!
