For DD's 2nd we had cut out crowns for them to decorate (stickers, crayons). Then they played in the playroom and had cake, I think bopped balloons around a little. It doesn't need to be elaborate. [ Reply | More

google for party games. we rigged up fishing with magnets and paperclip fish - that was very popular. Duck, duck, goose is good if you have the space for them to run around. playing with bubbles at somepoint perhaps? [ Reply | More

If you absolutely want structure, get kids and parents in a circle, have a music time with rattles, toy piano, etc then roll a couple of big balls to each other while you are still in a circle, and then have a read aloud. [ Reply | More

I posted above about the crowns--maybe skip my suggestion. We only had 3 little girls for the party. If it's such a big group you probably do want something more organized. [ Reply | More

we set up a play-dough table with lots of little, different colored play-doughs + sculpting tools etc.. at that age i don't think you need to have games or anything very structured. put out some crayons and paper...if you can find rolls of paper, you could also make outlines of kids' bodies and have them color them in. just remember to have fun. and don't forget to take photos (or designate someone to do this)...i always forget to do this!
