Most of us will be ringing in the new year from home on Dec. 31, which gives us an excuse to turn our living rooms into a party. We’ve all earned it after this crazy year we’ve had! Give the kids a reason to celebrate with these toys, games, and activities to jazz up your New Year’s Eve. Play DJ with Trolls and Baby Shark, dance along with Blue from Blue’s Clues & You!, create sparkling jewelry for the special occasion, hide away from the grown-ups in a pop-up tent or bounce house, unbox toys full of confetti, and launch Hatchimals into the air at midnight! Check out our list below for even more fun ideas on how to ring in the new year!
