Celebrating 10: A Virtual Party Success!

Celebrating Turning 10 Virtually!

I hosted a virtual party for her last night, and I’m happy to report that it was a success.

I created a magical environment the same way I do it for in-person parties, I chose a few interactive activities that bring the kids joy, only this time I had to portion each of the items into goodie bags for each guest. We delivered the goodie-bags to each friend in person, a few days in advance of the party so that it would have time to be quarantined before the party. We could have mailed them but this gave Maya an extra opportunity to see her friends, from a distance, which was in itself was a double gift: a gift of something to do and a gift of social interaction. (The two Toronto friends had their kits mailed to them.)

Activity Wish Jar Making

This first video introduces the idea of making an Activity Wish Jar during this time of social distancing. It’s a way to engage the kids and help the conversation move from ‘things we can’t do’ to ‘things we’re looking forward to doing’. It’s got my family focusing on a New Year’s 2020 and planning for fun times! I hope it does the same for you! The second video is an instructional video for the kids on how to make the Wish Jar.
