Entertainment for children

jdluvr06

I know it isn't necessary to do but I was thinking about having some stuff for the little ones to do at the reception. As of now there are going to be 13 kids under the age of 12 at the wedding (I say as of now because my cousin and his wife have been trying to adopt for a while and we are hoping 2014 is the year they will get their baby). Anyone have some suggestions of little things we can have at the reception for them?

I would recommend checking out the very similar thread already posted on the first page of Reception Ideas.

I say save your money and skip the entertainment for kids.  Most parents I know will bring something for the kids if they think they'll be bored.  Though at all the weddings I've been to, the kids LOVE being out on the dance floor.

Colouring books and/or activity books (mazes, word searches, etc.) with crayons.

We had  a bucket on each table with chidlren that had coloring books and crayons. The kids did use them, but they used the dance floor and photobooth more

We have double the amount of kids coming so we rented the room next door and are hiring babysitters. They will have pizza, cake, movies, and games all to themselves.
