Bday Party Keeping Kids Busy

Ive posted a few times, but still need help here...

I am having an indoors party for my dd 1st bday. There will be 15 Children there between the ages of 1.5-11. The party is 4 hours long.

I have 2 games (bean bag toss and pin the tail on the donkey type of game), a mini bounce house and a face painter (she does balloons and tattoos as well). I have coloring books with crayons. I have bubble wands.

How many more games should I purchase?

I was thinking about making a crafts table as well. Is this necessary if I have plenty of games? Im not looking to go nuts I do have a budget to consider so if you think this is overkill then I need to know that. Im very on the fence with this now. I was thinking of just keeping the kids busy with games.
If I should do this, then how many different types of crafts should I put out?

I just want to make sure the kids have a great time and stay busy.

Re: Bday Party Keeping Kids Busy

That seems like more then enough.
If you plan too many games then you need someone to co-ordinate them!
We had about the same amount & of kids at DDs party at our house & we just put toys out & let them run around, everyone was happy.
