When parents attend weddings, corporate events, or conferences, they want peace of mind knowing their children are not only cared for—but also having fun! That’s where event childcare comes in. At Children At Play Event Childcare, we turn downtime into playtime with a wide variety of engaging, age-appropriate activities designed to spark creativity, encourage social interaction, and keep children happily occupied.
Here are some of the most popular fun activities kids enjoy in event childcare settings:
Kids love expressing themselves through art! We offer guided and open-ended craft stations where children can create party-themed projects, decorate keepsakes, or simply let their imaginations run wild with markers, stickers, foam shapes, and more.
Why it works: It promotes creativity, fine motor skills, and gives kids a personalized souvenir to take home.
For our younger guests, story time is a cozy favorite. Caregivers read aloud from colorful picture books, sometimes incorporating puppets or props to bring stories to life.
Why it works: It nurtures language development and provides a calming, educational break from active play.
From kinetic sand and water beads to textured bins and slime kits, sensory play is always a hit. These tables are designed to stimulate touch, smell, and sight while encouraging curiosity.
Why it works: Sensory play supports cognitive growth and soothes overstimulated children in a busy event setting.
We organize group activities such as parachute play, freeze dance, obstacle courses, and scavenger hunts.
Why it works: Movement games promote physical activity, teamwork, and laughter—all essential for a great time!
Simple science experiments, building challenges, and hands-on learning activities are introduced for school-aged children.
Why it works: These activities engage curious minds and encourage problem-solving in a playful environment.
We set up mini “zones” for imaginative play—kitchen sets, dress-up stations, building blocks, or even a pretend camping setup.
Why it works: Role-playing helps children develop social-emotional skills and keeps them entertained independently or in small groups.
When it’s time to wind down, our cozy lounge with blankets and bean bags offers relaxing entertainment.
Why it works: It offers a much-needed break from the excitement and helps younger children recharge.
For weddings, we offer mini ring bearer or flower girl crafts. For corporate events, we might provide goal-themed games. Around the holidays, our stations are seasonally inspired with crafts like ornament-making or card decorating.
Why it works: Themed activities make the event feel special and memorable for the kids too!
Event childcare isn’t just about supervision—it’s about creating an engaging, safe, and joyful environment where children are excited to be part of the day too. Whether it’s a black-tie wedding or a business conference, parents can relax knowing their kids are smiling, playing, and making memories of their own.
