Ideas for kids parties in the Hunter Valley/Newcastle, NSW area. I need help for my 8 year old son?

Question

We are living in the above areas and am after any ideas for my 8 year old son. He has done the maccas and the bugalugs for the last 4 years, but would love something a little different this time round. But without costing the earth, cause I still have to buy presents, cake and loot bags. Also, I cant have it at home so looking at going somewhere for it

Answer 1

Well  something outdoors sounds like fun, a park or playground always has lots of room to run around, (which is what kids like best anyway!).

I may be able to help with the lolly bags - http://www.boughtitonline.com.au  - I am in the process of putting up an online shop but meanwhile have posted a few bags on eBay, some suitable for boys.  I have a mixed lot which have small goody bags an am able to do just boys toys.  Wish I could show you all the options I have, email me if you want and I can show you more!

Pick which toys are suitable for 8 year olds, would skip out laser pointers for safety and concentrate on squishy rats and inflatable swords!

ps I bought $1,000 worth of stock and out of all I had my 10 year old daughter raced for the squishy rat.... can throw and they squidge and splat!

Answer 2

The park is always free, so is the beach, and both create a lot of enjoyment. My little brother had a BMX party, it was great fun! Just have a table of food or ask everyone to bring a plate of food. you could have simple games like "pin the tail on the donkey" etc http://www.partygamecentral.com/ has some slightly better games than what I can suggest though :P

Have fun ^^
