How to arrange a kids’ sleepover

Oh, the anticipation! We all remember our first sleep-over and that says a lot about what a big event it is for everyone involved. So, let’s do our very best to make it a happy memory.

Welcome – let’s settle in and get the party going

Let’s plan this sleepover together, since being the young host of the event can be almost as nervous as being the guest.

One fun thing to do together is baking cakes or preparing fruit on a stick – or both.

Paper and pens are the beginning of a lot of fun!

Creativity sparks when clever minds get together over arts and crafts.

Tidying up made almost as easy as making a mess

One of many benefits of TROFAST storage combination is that the boxes can be pulled out and carried away in no time, to show all the toys and crafts without a second of hesitation.

Remember, it’s called a sleepover, not a stay awake all night-over.

Winding down can be easier said than done, so make sure to start in time. Pull down the blinds and turn down the lights, get the beds ready, snuggle up and read a story.

A mutual friend lights up the night

Once the light is turned off, it’s easy to feel a little anxious, especially if you’re away from home.
