Childcare at Events
When children are at an event, they need their own program. Well supervised children mean relaxed parents – and relaxed parents enjoy your event to the fullest.
Setting Up the Kids' Corner
Reserve a dedicated area for the little guests – ideally within sight but out of earshot of the adults. Equip the area with child friendly furniture: low tables, colorful chairs, and soft seat cushions. A carpet or outdoor blankets define the play area and create a cozy atmosphere.
Age-Appropriate Activities
Toddlers (2 5 years) : Drawing corner, play dough, bubbles, and a dress up box. A puppet show or children's magician provides highlights. Ensure safe, choke proof materials.
School Children (6 10 years) : Craft stations, face painting, scavenger hunts, bouncy castles, or children's obstacle courses. Group games like sack racing or egg and spoon races always delight.
Older Children (11+ years) : Photo booth, outdoor games, a gaming corner, or creative challenges like making a short film. This age group appreciates activities that also impress adults.
Hiring Professional Childcare
For larger events, we recommend professional childcare providers. Experienced educators or entertainers know how to simultaneously engage children of different age groups while ensuring safety. Plan one caregiver per five to eight children.
Food for the Little Ones
Child friendly food should be planned separately: finger food, mini pizzas, fruit skewers, and juices instead of adult menus. A small dessert buffet with muffins and gummy bears is the highlight of every kids' corner.
Zeitgeist Taunus provides the equipment for a perfect kids' corner – from child friendly furniture to decoration. So all guests, big and small, enjoy your event.
