Are you planning a big sleepover party for your child's birthday?

Sleepovers can be lots of fun, but planning is key so things don't descend into sugar-fuelled arguments and chaos!

As well as an abundance of snacks, there are a few bits and pieces you can buy to help the evening go more smoothly.

If you'd rather your child doesn't spend the night online or watching TV, board games and other fun activities are a great idea.

Renting a film is another option, plus it means there's a limit to how much screen-time your child and their friends will get.

While it's likely that they'll will want to stay up late, you can still enforce a time for the lights to go out - just expect another hour of whispering and giggles before they FINALLY go to sleep!

Now all you need to do is nip to the supermarket and get some pizza for dinner, as well as plenty of snacks.

We've rounded up 10 fun buys which will make your child's sleepover party one to remember – for all the right reasons!
