You have
invited the royal guests and have planned a menu that would
make any queen proud. The guests will be arriving soon with
great expectation of fun and all things pink! You're having a
Princess Party!
Here are some
easy and fun ideas for games and crafts to make your party the
best one in the kingdom.
1. Make a
tiara: These days at almost any craft store you can find
precut fun foam princess tiaras and decorations for next to
nothing. Purchase some glitter glue and a few extra sparkly
gems and your princess and her guests will stay busy for quite
some time. Make sure they all put their name inside the crown
so that after the glue and glitter glue dries, they'll know
which is theirs. Don't forget to take a picture with everyone
wearing the crowns.
2. Musical
Princess Slipper: This is a fun and easy game that takes no
prep work at all. Have the party guests and princess of honor
stand in a circle. Using a nice dress shoe (or glass slipper
if you happen to have one!) start with the birthday girl and
have the girls pass the slipper around the circle while music
plays in the background. When the music stops, the guest
holding the slipper jumps out of the circle and becomes the
girl in charge of the music. Continue on until only one girl
is left and she's the princess winner.
3. Pin the
crown on the frog: Another great variation of a traditional
birthday party game that kids have loved for ages. You'll need
a large drawing of a frog on poster board and several
construction paper crowns with double stick tape on the back.
Each party guest gets a turn at being blindfolded and trying
to stick the crown onto the top of the frog's head. Make it
even harder by making each child spin around 3 times before
heading toward the frog. No peeking. Other variations of this
game (depending on your artwork) are: Pin the kiss on the
frog, Pin the slipper on the princess, Pin the jewel on the
crown, etc. Have fun!
4. Princess
treasure chests: Purchase inexpensive paper mache boxes at
your local craft store. Use stickers, jewels and beads with
tacky glue and have the girls decorate their treasure chest.
Include some candy or other trinkets to put inside.
5. Decorate
princess crown cookie: Another favorite with young
girls...decorating cookies. Purchase an inexpensive crown
cookie cutter and make 2 cookies per girl (just in case they
break). Allow to cool before decorating. Then put out pink
frosting, candies and other fun edible items and let the girls
frost and decorate. Then let them eat the cookies as part of
their snack, or wrap them in plastic wrap to take home as part
of the take home gift.
6. Princess
silhouettes: This is a fun "craft" for girls that are a bit
older. Using a blank wall as backdrop, tape a large piece of
butcher paper to the wall. Have each princess sit on the
throne and shine a very bright light so that it casts a shadow
onto the wall and paper. But here's the fun part. Place a
paper crown on her head so that it casts the obvious shadow as
well. Then with a black marker, trace around her silhouette
onto the butcher paper. Remove the butcher paper from the wall
and either leave as is or have the girls decorate the crown
for a different effect.
Create fun at
your next princess party with these games and crafts. Make
sure you have the camera handy for the whole event to keep the
memories alive too. Enjoy and happy princess partying!
