Sparkly InvitationsUse the template below to send out or post invitations to young princes and princesses!

Decorating TipsMake the party room into a castle by hanging paper herald banners on the walls, setting a fancy banquet or tea party table, or adorning surfaces with stars, snowflakes, or sparkles. In this kit youll find an activity for kids to create their own crowns, and you can also consider having fairy wings for children to wear. And as every fairy princess knows, you can never have too much glitter!

Favor and Prize IdeasGive princes and princesses party favors and prizes fit for a king or a queen! Consider such items as bags of fairy dust confetti or wands, which can be made in advance or as a party activity from construction paper, pencils or pipe cleaners, and ribbon. If throwing a party timed for Valentines Day, Halloween, or wintertime, think about seasonal themed favors and prizes. When all else fails, go for the sparkle, with such items as sparkly crayons, stickers, bracelets, or candy.

The Fairy Princess Sparkly Party KitFinding Your Sparkle

Everyone has a unique inner sparkle, and these games are designed to help children discover their own.

What Makes You Sparkle? Anyone can be a fairy princessyou just have to let your SPARKLE out! Ask children, What makes YOU sparkle? and have them answer by saying, I sparkle when You can also turn this game around and have kids pay compliments to one another by saying, YOU sparkle when

Favorite Songs One of Gerrys favorite classes is musicshe loves to sing! Sitting in a circle, have each child share his or her favorite song with the group. For the especially brave: Have them sing a few lines of that song!

Holiday Greetings Gerry loves holidays! One of her favorites is Valentines Daywhats your favorite? Depending on which upcoming holiday you are getting ready to celebrate, have kids design greeting cards for their friends and family in advance. (Fairy princesses are extremely generous!)

Dancing Queens One of Gerrys very favorite things to do is dance. Put on some music and have everyone show off their sparkle by dancing along!

Make a Prince or Princess Start with a long piece of paper. Draw a crown at the top and then fold over the paper to hide everything but a tiny bit of your drawing at the bottom. Have the first child continue the lines to draw the top of the head, the eyes, and the beginning of the hair, and then fold the paper the same way. The next child draws the nose and mouth, etc. Continue with the neck, shoulders, torso, and armsall the way down to feet! Unfold everything to see the prince or princess youve created together!

Make Up a Fairy Tale Now try this fairy tale version of the drawing activity above! Write the first sentence of a fairy tale on a large piece of paper. Fold the paper down so that only the last word or phrase can be seen, and pass the paper around in a circle. Everyone gets a chance to add a line or two, folding the same way each time, resulting in a group fairy tale. (Younger kids can dictate their sentences to a grown up scribe!)

How Much of a Princess or Prince are YOU? Prior to the party, prepare a list of royalty-based commands, similar to the ones below. Have children stand up along a starting line and give them prompts with associated movements, such as:

If you have ever worn a crown, take a step forward. If you have ever swallowed your gum, take a step back. If youve ever kissed (or even touched!) a frog, take two hops forward. If you have ever done a good deed, take a step forward. If you like to dance, jump to your right. If you like to sing, jump to your left. If you have ever rescued an animal or a bug, take a leap forward. If you have ever eaten something you wished you hadnt, take one jump backward. If you have ever done something scary but brave, take three hops forward. If you have ever found something unusual or exciting, jump forward. If youve ever spilled something, take a step back. If youve ever been a flower girl or a ring bearer, take a dainty step forward. If youve ever been in a school play, take a bow. If youre wearing sneakers or sparkly shoes, jump forward. If you play a musical instrument, wave your arms in the air. If you have ever helped someone without being asked, take two skips forward.

The first person who reaches the finish line winsbut everyone gets a royal prize!

Read-aloud Finale Every party needs a grand finale! Complete your party by reading aloud from one of The Very Fairy Princess books, allowing kids to settle down and relax. Make the reading experience interactive by asking questions about the story and art.
