How to Throw Your Little Girl a Princess Slumber Party
If your little girl is a fan of the Disney princesses like Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Cinderella and Jasmine then a princess slumber party could be the perfect way to celebrate her birthday this year.
In this article I'll give you some great ideas for invitations, decorations, prizes and activities to help you throw your little princess a fabulous slumber party.
Invitations Cinderella's glass slipper was presented to her on a pillow so why not use this idea for you invitations? You can make a small pillow by folding a square of felt in half and using a glue gun to secure the sides.
Stuff the pillow case with some cotton.
Now write the invitation on a 3x5 card and slip it inside the pillow.
Alternatively you could write on the pillow using a craft pen.
Decorations In order to turn your child's bedroom into a palace fit for a princess you'll want to use pastel coloured balloons and streamers.
You'll want to ensure that there are lots of beanbags and pillows for the guests to use to make themselves comfortable.
As the guests arrive give them a pair of slipper socks and a princess headband or tiara.
Prizes Have some small prizes on hand for the games.
Think about glo bands, bracelets, bubbles, candy etc Activities Make your own pillow case Buy some white pillow cases, or have the guests bring one from home.
Provide some dye crayons and other decorating items and have the kids make their own pillow case designs.
Have an adult on hand with a hot iron to 'fix' the designs to the pillow case when they're done.
Sleeping Beauty Make a bed on the floor using a blanket and a pillow.
Choose a guest to be 'it' and then ask her to lay down on the bed and pretend to be asleep like Sleeping Beauty.
The other guests then have to try and make her laugh my making funny noises, telling jokes and singing.
When the princess is woken up (starts laughing) she can then select the next player to be the princess.
If she can stay 'asleep' for set amount of time (about a minute works well) then she wins a prize.
Cinderella slippers As the kids arrive at the party have them remove one of their shoes and place it in a pile.
When everyone has arrived the kids then need to take it in turns choosing a shoe from the pile and then matching it back to its owner.
The last person to have their shoe matched is the winner.
Pass the princess pillow Take some piece of paper and write down some fun activities for the children to complete.
It might be to tell a joke, or recite a poem.
Drop all of the pieces into a pillowcase.
Have the children gather around in a circle and play some music.
Ask the children to pass the pillowcase between them until the music stops.
Whoever is holding the pillow must choose a piece of paper and perform the activity.
