Face painting is always a hit with kids. Use Mardi Gras colors like purple, green, and gold to create fun designs on their faces. You can also hire a professional face painter to make the experience extra special.

Mardi Gras beads are a must-have accessory during the celebration. Your kids can use the beads to create their own jewelry or crafts. Use pipe cleaners to make bracelets or necklaces, or create a bead mosaic by gluing beads onto a piece of cardboard.
6. Dance Party
Put on some Mardi Gras music and have a dance party with your kids. Teach them how to do the Mardi Gras Mambo or just let them dance to their favorite songs. It’s a great way to burn off some energy and have fun. Mardi Gras is a fun time for everyone, and there are plenty of activities that kids can enjoy. Whether you’re baking a King Cake or having a parade in your backyard, your kids are sure to have a blast. So, let the good times roll!
