Soirée pyjama : 10 idées d’activités que les enfants vont adorer
By JuliettePublished Updated 6 min read
So far, it's been a headache to find a theme for your child's birthday party. And now he wants to invite his friends to sleep over! Well, sleeping is a big word. We're talking about late-night chitchat, laughter and midnight feasts... Looking for ideas to keep them occupied? To help you out, we've put together ten not-so-sleepy slumber party activities.
#1- The essential cushion hut
We start with a classic. While teenagers demand a little independence by pitching a tent in the garden, building a cushion hut remains a fun activity for younger children. The principle is simple. All you have to do is commandeer anything you can use to build a hiding place: cushions, sofa seats, pillows, blankets, plaids, towels... Let the kids work together to find the best way to install them so that they fit and lie comfortably inside without collapsing. Get ready for the big upheaval!
💡 Once the tree house is built, why not decorate it with a little led garland or suggest some nightlights for a good night's sleep?
#2- The essential gourmet activity
For a successful sleepover, don't forget the little nibbles. Instead of opening packages of sweets or cakes, you can offer a cooking or pastry workshop. You don't have to spend hours on it to enjoy a treat. For example, you can prepare pizza dough in advance, then cut it out with a cookie cutter. The children can garnish them to their taste, using the ingredients provided in bowls. And for dessert, launch a cupcake contest! Bake them before the kids arrive, so they can decorate them. You can also offer chopped fruit for colorful skewers.
💡 Don't forget the popcorn: classic savoury or sweet version, or enhanced with melted chocolate, caramel, M&m's, Smarties...Miam Miam!
#3- Art workshop
Not only does it keep the kids busy, it also provides a DIY* souvenir of an unforgettable evening. Depending on the age of the children, you can ask them to make a friendship bracelet, a club member's badge - they'll need a bit of imagination to come up with a name - or have them personalize an object (tote bag, pillowcase, T-shirt...). Handling beads, drawing, cutting out, coloring, painting - it's all part of revealing budding artists.

#4- The magical pyjama party
Welcome to the land of a thousand and one nights. Decorate the bedroom or living room with curtains, lights and glow-in-the-dark stars, and let the charm take over. In this fantastic atmosphere, children can make their own magic wand with small pieces of wood, colored paper, glitter... It's also the perfect setting for stories about knights and princesses. With the palette of seven Nuit eyeshadowsThe children will be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. A little Glitter powder 100% natural Namaki sprinkled in the hair or on the skin and they can fly off to dreamland on a magic carpet.
💡 For kids who love finger-painting ( and others too ), give them the little bottles of nail polish water-based formulas. Pearly, glittery or iridescent, the eighteen shades are easy to apply and remove like stickers. Ideal for changing colors several times a night. Success guaranteed!
#5- The kigurumi invasion
Kigurumi, kézako ? Mais si, vous les connaissez ! Ce sont ces fameux pyjamas-combinaisons qui permettent en même temps de se déguiser en animaux réels ou imaginaires. Licorne, dinosaure ou plutôt chien, chat, cochon, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Et pour finaliser ce déguisement, vous pouvez bien sûr compter sur le maquillage de déguisement de Namaki. Grâce aux kits de quatre fards à l’eau Tigre and Licorne, vous avez toutes les couleurs sous la main. Ces kits tout-en-un contiennent aussi un pinceau et des tatouages éphémères. Ces fards bios s’enlèvent facilement avec du savon et de l’eau.

#6- The contemplative sleepover
The evening is mild and the sky is clear. Perfect weather for star gazing. Whether you're lying on the grass or relaxing on one of our deckchairs or cushions, you can have fun identifying the constellations. Take advantage of this moment of calm and relaxation to awaken your children's senses. Starting with what they see, you can ask them what they hear, smell and feel.
💡 If the weather is cloudy, don't wait until nightfall to experience pareidolia. Behind this bizarre name simply lies the act of recognizing shapes in the clouds. It also works with faces in a cup of coffee or on toast... Something to keep you going until breakfast!
#7- Blind make-up
Playing is very simple. Blindfold a player and give him or her a make-up pencil or a hair mascara. Put him opposite another child and guide his hand towards his friend's face so that he can apply make-up. Make sure they don't hurt each other. Laughter guaranteed!
💡 To spice up the game, show the child a model before blindfolding him or her. It's up to him to reproduce the design ( whiskers, circles, flowers...) or the full make-up ( pirate, ladybug, flower fairy...).
#8- The incredible show
Let the artists in! Dancing, karaoke and mime competitions - it's a parade of stars in the salon. Backstage, everyone is doing their hair and make-up. To keep a pretty face as fresh as a morning of spring or as warm as a long summer eveningYou can count on namaki's palettes of three eyeshadows. To make a splash on the dance floor and shine brighter than a disco ball, dare to use the new pink glitter gloss with a delicate peach flavor.
💡Shy, introverted kids or teens may feel uncomfortable with this exercise. If they don't want to parade, give them the role of make-up artist or judge. They'll have the tough task of choosing the winner of this great contest.
#9- The night expedition
Armed with their flashlights, older children set off in search of clues that could help them find a priceless statuette missing from a museum and catch the burglars. After imagining the scenario and the roles the children might play - detectives, spies or incognito thieves - place small objects, riddles and riddles to be solved here and there in the garden during the day (it's still easier).
💡 For younger children, you can adapt the level and organize a treasure hunt in the same way.
#10- The memorable photobooth
Finally, it's important to immortalize these moments of complicity and laughter (especially if you've played blind make-up). You can provide accessories: glasses, hats, scarves, ties, XXL clothing, cane... You can also easily find fun assortments in stores and on masquerade costume websites.
💡 You can have the accessories made from cardboard or thick paper. Have a few patterns ready to save time. Attach the designs to your last plastic straws or chopsticks ( less dangerous than skewer picks 😅 ) so you can hold them when taking the photo. Click, it's in the box!
