What you get

Pack 7 paper bags, line them up and open one every hour. Each bag holds a simple, screen-free activity, and the last bag ends the evening with a sparkling juice toast and a big countdown. Little ones can't stay up until midnight? Use the Early Bird set and celebrate an "early midnight" at 9 PM.
