Activities for kids
Often times, setting up a kids station can be a great way to keep them together. Since other parents may not be able to find sitters for your wedding day, it would be a great addition to add. Of course smaller babies shouldn’t attend a wedding, other kids around 2-10 should be able to have their own place area. This will allow the parents to enjoy their time as well as the kids.
Leaf Wreath
Children cut out leaf wreaths from templates and then color them with Crayola or paint.
Plate Mat
Each child is allowed to draw a set of a plate with cutleries. The plate has the same dimension as the one each child will use for eating. Then when the food is ready each child can place hi/her plate on the paper plate mat.
Paper necklace
