Where to celebrate New Year with children?
Children from 0 to 1 year
If you have small children, don't hesitate to celebrate the New Year in large groups, crowded places or squares; you have the most suitable place in front of you: your home .
If you have only one small child it can also be the occasion for a romantic evening, at some point the child will fall asleep and you will be free to enjoy the evening as a couple.
You will only have to hope that the New Year's barrels fired by the neighbors will not make the child wake up in the screams. If, on the other hand, you want to spend the evening in company, you could organize a small home dinner with the help of grandparents and / or uncles, and maybe a few friends.
Children from 1 to 3 years
The best place to celebrate New Year with children from 1 to 3 years remains their home, but the grandparents' house and that of other friends with small children or older children are also excellent solutions.
The older ones, in fact, often like to play with small children and it is not complicated to create a pleasant atmosphere when there are (few) children, even of different ages, playing with each other.
Children from 3 to 5 years
In this age group children love the company with their own kind, therefore, for a New Year without whims, the winning idea is often to spend the New Year at home with relatives or friends and some other children.
Children from 5 to 10 years
With children between 5 and 10 years of age, New Year's Eve can be pleasant at home but also in some places. In that age group usually the important thing is that the company is appreciated by the child and that there is no way to get bored.
It can also be a nice idea to organize an evening stroll through the city squares, especially when there are interesting events for children or take advantage of the New Year to take a short trip and take their children to explore different places.

New Year's menu for children
The most suitable New Year's menu for children obviously depends on age. For children up to one year the problem does not even arise because they will drink milk or, after six months, they will eat something very simple and age-appropriate. A similar argument can also be made for children in the second year of life: there is no need to prepare a dedicated menu.
After two years we can begin to indulge ourselves with simple and festive dishes that whet their palate, perhaps changing traditional dishes to suit their tastes. Any examples? Lentil meatballs, potato croquettes, skewers of crunchy vegetables ... A winning idea, which with children is always successful, is to simply offer them a pizza, perhaps in a savory and sweet version.
To drink, a nice orange juice without giving in to the temptation of sugary drinks.

Children from 0 to 2 years
If you spend the New Year in your home you already have everything you need; if, on the other hand, you move, you will obviously need to bring everything you need to guarantee a comfortable evening for the child and then a stroller, a bag with a gearbox and so on.
It is advisable to also bring a pair of pajamas, so that you can slip them on at a certain point in the evening and avoid having to strip them if they arrive at home asleep.
