Kids Party Activity and Entertainment Planner

## CONTEXT
A kids party with downtime becomes chaos in minutes. The secret is a tightly timed sequence of age-appropriate activities with clear transitions, a high-energy peak, and a calm landing before pickup. Activities must match the attention span and motor skills of the age group, with backups when one falls flat.
