How to arrange a kids’ sleepover

We all remember our first sleep-over. So, let’s do our very best to make it a happy memory! A plan that includes a warm and personal welcome, fun activities, a comfy bed and at least one stuffed animal, is always a good start.

A children’s room with blue wall, two girls are playing on SLÄKT bed with green NATTHÄGER duvet cover and colourful cushions.

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! Write or draw all the fun activities you can think of for the day. What to do? What to eat?  When to eventually sleep? Put it all up there on SKÅDIS pegboard.

The Friendship Café

One fun thing to do together is baking cakes or preparing fruit on a stick – or both! Then, with lots of goodies ready to go, you might as well open a café. The interior of this café is super comfortable, you’re even allowed to lay down on SLÄKT foldable mattress! The only question is whether you invite the rest of the family, and if you prefer them to be guests or staff?

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

Creativity sparks when clever minds get together over arts and crafts. A few products from the MÅLA series are all you need to create anything from colourful houses or fine art. Or why not make paper fortune tellers with different activities or challenges on? The game is on!

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  to show all the toys and crafts. When it’s time to tidy up and wind down for the night, they are almost as simple to put back again. It might be done with a little less enthusiasm, but at least it’s still quick and easy.

It’s called a sleepover but they don't need to 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. NATTHÄGER duvet covers and pillowcases make it easy to pick a favourite bedding, while DJUNGELSKOG soft toys inspire the dreams.

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. Then TÖVÄDER night light will help push that feeling away. Should there be need for more friends, TIGERFINK storage can hold a whole bunch of soft toys and is easy to pull close to the beds. You’re not alone!

Get out before it blows!

The best parties are the ones you leave in time and, when it comes to sleepovers, that’s usually right after breakfast. Before leaving, make or pick a drawing that will become a memory of the big event. And for those occasions when a certain little one didn’t really make it through and stayed overnight, why not extend the invitation to come back for breakfast?
