first_baby_for_me

DD will be turning one in a little more than a week and we're doing a crash-and-burn on the plans. One area in which we have a major dilemma is activities because of the ages of the kids. The theme of the party is butterflies and we limited the invites to immediate family and closest friends with kids (26 total kids and adults).
We will have eight kids under six years old with the breakdown of: One baby is 10 months old, five kids are between 1 and 2, and two kids are 4 to 6 years. All the kids are girls except the 10 month old boy.
Fortunately, my mother is a muscially-inclined retired kindergarten teacher so I've signed her up for a short sing-along on the grass. We also have a fold-out playhouse that we just bought at Target (so cute BTW!).
I'm not too worried about 4-6 year olds (they're cousins who have been to our house a number of times). Any suggestions on what else can I do with the ones & twos? Seems to me they're too young for organized arts & crafts so what should we do?
Help!
