Set the scene with stars and cushions
Choose comfortable pyjamas or loungewear and a favourite cushion. Paper stars and moons can bring a sleepover feel to an afternoon. Matching outfits are optional; choosing a shared colour can bring the decorations together.
Alternate making, moving and quiet time
If you are wondering what to do, try a simple flow like this:
- Make star decorations or a bedroom-style name card.
- Find paper moons and stars hidden around the room.
- Gather around the cushions for a favourite story.
A little movement after focused craft time, followed by sitting and chatting, gives the afternoon a gentle change of pace.
Start with a mood they love
A party theme does not have to be a character. “Lots of stars,” “soft and fluffy” or a favourite colour can be enough to inspire decorations and games.
