5 Party Ideas for Your Tween
So, your kiddo is hitting that tween stage, huh? Not quite a teenager, but definitely not a little kid anymore. Finding fun and engaging party ideas can be a bit tricky, but don’t worry! We’ve got you covered with some fabulous ideas that will make their party a blast. Let’s dive in!
DIY Craft Party
Tweens love to get creative, so why not throw a DIY craft party? Set up a crafting station with supplies for things like friendship bracelets, tie-dye shirts, or personalized tote bags. Ask your tween what they’d like to tie-dye – bucket hats, crew socks, or tote bags are on point right now.
At Michael’s you can find a good selection in-store or online. Lastly, why not try a fun play on “paint and sip” session where the kids can paint their own canvas while sipping on a mocktails.
Sports or Outdoor Adventure Party
If your tween is more of an active type, a sports or outdoor adventure party could be a hit for them and their crew.
Create your own American Ninja Warrior experience or a backyard obstacle course.

Tech-Savvy Video Game or Movie Night Party
Got a tech-savvy tween? A video game or movie night party could be a big hit. Set up gaming stations with popular multiplayer games or consider a game truck rental. You could also organize a movie marathon with their favorite films or many independent movie theaters offer private rentals. Lastly, have a budding singer on your hands? Try a karaoke session with a selection of their favorite songs; you can find a karaoke machine online or rent one. Don’t forget the snacks and drinks to keep everyone fueled!
Spa Day or Pampering Party
If you’re looking for something more low-key, a spa day or pampering party could be perfect. Set up a DIY pedicure station, have face masks and nail painting, and provide cozy robes and slippers for everyone to relax in. You could even hire a professional masseuse to give mini massages or set up a photo booth for some fun photo ops.
