Create your
own glittery slipper invitation. Create a slipper pattern (like
Cinderella's), then trace and cut out your slippers on clear
transparency film. Decorate the edge of each slipper with gold
glitter glue. Using a permanent marker, write the invitation on
the transparency.

"PINK"
is in order for this party! Throw in a splash of purple and gold and
your set.
For your table centerpiece use our
preprinted princess centerpiece, add a
gold star weight and
balloons. Or use a large
decorative teapot filled with fresh or artificial flowers.
Make your room sparkle with white Christmas
lights or a few strands of
star lights.
Set the scene with a Palace Scene setter. Don't
forget the
sticky tack.
Use a large picture of a frog ( check teacher
supply stores) or create one using construction paper.
Cut out red & pink lips before the party.
Write each guest name on the a lip.
Like the game Pin the tail on the donkey, here the
girls will take turns putting their kisses on the frog.
Idea
#2:
Another variation is for the girls to go on a hunt looking for the frog
(stuff animal)
that may turn into a prince. The princess who finds the frog, gets
to kiss the frog with our fun lip
whistle. They also get to keep the lip whistle for a party
favor.
Idea
#3:
A
third variation is for the princesses to sit in a circle. Play some
soft music and the girls gently pass around the frog (stuff animal).
When the music
stops the
princess is out. Play continues until there is one princess left.
The princess must kiss frog with a
lip
whistle to win! Who knows, maybe a prince will appear, if not let her
keep the frog as a prize!
You'll need 3 pillows the same or close in
size and a frozen pea or marble.
Place
the three pillows on the floor and under one of them put the frozen pea or
marble. Do this before the party and don't let the princesses pick
up the pillow.
Each princess gets
a turn sitting on all three pillows and then stands behind the pillow she thinks
has the pea. After all girls received a chance, lift one pillow at a time revealing where the pea
was. The princesses standing by the correct pillow win a party
favor!
Mom
your the Queen and you need to teach your little princesses manners.
Play
this game like
Simon Says.
Here are some
choice sayings:
Queen says curtsey
Queen says bow
Queen says touch your crown ( or tiara)
Touch your jewels!
- If they touch their jewels they are out, the "Queen did not say
so".
You
can come up with more sayings and play several times.
Lost
Slipper
Teacup
Tower
Find
the lost slipper. Prior to the start of the party, hide one slipper from a
pair of children's
dress up slippers.
Send the girls on a hunt for the lost slipper.
If
you want to give a prize, then the child that finds the matching slipper, can keep them.
Using paper/plastic cups and small paper/plastic plates, let the
girls stack towers. See whose is tower is the tallest before it tumbles down.
This can be done in teams too!
