stickers1Do your children love stickers?  I remember when I was a kid, a favorite activity was collecting, organizing, and trading stickers with my friends.  There were googly eyed ones, scratch-n-sniff, puffy, and regular ones too.  It was such a fun hobby.  Stickers are always fun and during the summer when school is out and you are looking for ways to keep the kids busy a great idea is to invite over your kid’s friends who also love stickers for an afternoon of fun.  For school-aged children, this should be easy on you too.

Ask your child to choose several friends to invite over for a Sticker Party.  If you would like to do an invitation, use heavy card stock and letter stickers to provide the details.

When the children arrive, the time will be spent collecting more stickers (you may want to combine a trip to a local craft store for the kids to purchase some new stickers or if you have extra sheets laying around your home place those out in a common area.)  After collecting, give the kids time to organize their albums and trade stickers too.  Both of these activities will take up the majority of the time.  Another fun idea would be to pull out your old sticker album and the show the kids how you collected stickers when you were their age.  Very cool.

Make sure to have some easy snacks on hand for the kids to munch on during the gathering.  Fruit skewers, frozen grapes, pretzels, marshmallows, and any other favorite treat will do.  Freeze small fruit (like berries) in your ice cubes for added fun in your party drinks too.

Stickers are always fun and if you have a collector in your home, it’s a perfect item to build a gathering around.
