Hi there
I'm in a similar situation for my three year old's upcoming birthday.
My plan is to get one of those large coloured parachutes (used at gymbaroo), with a few toys and balls etc and we can play some games eg. jumping joeys on the bed and remove a joey for each time... that's all I have so far but I've seen loads of sites on the web for games. I've been told you can buy the parachutes online for ~$20 so if that's true it will be much cheaper than professional enteratainment!
I figure it should be fun for the range of ages and maybe even some of the parents can boost numbers if needed. I'm just hoping they wont get bored after 5 minutes!
Anyway.. just an idea for you...
ps. don't forget to get those multi-pack bubbles.. always a hit at birthdays.
How about letting the older children in the group help out with playing games and things with the younger kids. They can be in charge of the music for the games you play - e.g. musical chairs, pass the parcel, dance and freeze. Maybe they can organise a treasure hunt too.
You could put out a table with paper, pens/pencils, glue and collage materials and they could decorate their own party hats.
I made a fishing game once for one of my dd's parties - i cut out paper fish in different colours and attached a paper clip to each of them. I made fishing rods out of bamboo stakes from bunnings, added string and put a small magnet on the end. They had to go fishing for small prizes. They had heaps of fun.
