Do you remember the excitement and anticipation of planning a slumber party as a kid? The late-night giggles, pillow fights, and stories that sent chills down your spine were all part of the fun. If you want to give your kids and their friends an unforgettable experience this March holiday, then you’re in the right place.
Hosting a slumber party for a group of little ones can be quite challenging, but don’t worry! We’ve got you covered with some fantastic tips and tricks that will help you throw the ultimate slumber party. From keeping the guest list short so you can manage the little ones running around your house to games and decorations to take the levels of fun up to new heights, BearloonSG is here to help you create a night of endless fun and memories that will last a lifetime. So, let’s get started and make this March holiday one to remember!
1. Keep the Guest List Short
If you’re planning a slumber party, especially if it’s your first time, one of the best tips we can give you is to keep the guest list short. While it might be tempting to invite everyone your child knows, it’s important to remember that each child will require your full attention and care — it might not be the best idea to leave them attended with their devices. And though the March holidays might mean a clear schedule for most kids since they do not have to go to school, you’ll need to keep in mind how many kids you can handle so that everything goes smoothly.
For a first-time sleepover, we recommend inviting a group of two or three kids. This will allow you to focus on their needs and ensure everyone has a great time. Remember, each child may have different preferences, so be prepared to be flexible and accommodate their needs.
2. Go All Out with a Theme
Elevate your slumber party to epic status with the right decorations! Adding some creative and fun touches will transform your home into the perfect party space that your little ones will love. To choose a theme, start by considering your child’s interests and favourite things. Once you have decided on a theme, you can easily plan your decorations, activities, and invitations around it — this will help you stay on track throughout the planning process. Moreover, your party will look cohesive and impress your mini-party guests.

3. Keep the Fun Rolling with Games
Plan games and other fun activities ahead of time to ensure that the kids remain entertained and avoid getting restless. Classic slumber party activities like movie marathons and dance playlists are a good place to start. You could also organise a talent show by having the kids prepare a performance of their choice, such as singing, dancing, magic tricks, or comedy. Set up a stage and let them have fun showcasing their talents! Be sure to plan ahead of time so that you’ll be able to keep the party rolling and ensure that the children have a memorable experience.

4. Tone it Down with the Sugary Snacks

While it’s customary to have a few snacks during a sleepover and you might be considering gifting them a food hamper as a prize, consuming too much sugar can make it difficult for kids to settle down. To prevent this, balance out the snacks by including some healthy options for the kids to nibble on. You could also present them in an appealing way, such as by arranging them on colourful plates or adding a fun element to the sleepover by having them rip open organic food hampers. Pick health food hampers like our Organic Hamper and have them munch on snacks like oat cookies instead!
5. Give Out Sleepover Gifts
