Cinderella has very messy , mean
stepsisters.The object of this game
is to be the first team to clean up
the mess.
To play, divide the girls into two
groups. You'll need clothing,
shoes, plastic necklaces,
hairbrushes etc. and a basket for
each team. Establish a start and
finish line. Then, scatter the items
in a row along the ground from the
start to finish line. When you say
"go" the first player on the team
will quickly gather one item into
her basket, run to the finish line,
return to her team and pass the
basket to the next player. That
player runs and gathers another
item. this continues until all of the
players have had a turn and the
mess is picked up.
Oh no! - The fairy Godmother has
lost her magic wand!
Before the party hide toy wands in
the party area. The object of the
game is to find a wand before the
clock strikes twelve. Give the girls
an appropriate amount of time to
find a wand and then begin
striking a bell twelve times.
Before the party, write the names
of Cinderella characters on several
3x5 cards; stepmother, step
sisters, prince, fairy godmother...
To play, tape the cards onto the
girls backs, so that they cannot see
their own character. The object of
the game is to identify who is on
your back, by asking yes/no
questions of the other players.
Example:
Am I a girl ? Boy? Am I nice?
Do I have magical powers?

takes a bite!

ribbon around the stem of one red
apple.
Hide that apple with several more
apples around the party space.
To play, simply explain to the
children that Snow white is going
apple picking and one of the
apples is poisonous. Can they find
it? If you want to add more
poisonous apples, just tie more
ribbons around the stems.
Before the party, write the names
of Snow White characters on 3x5
cards ( snow white , evil queen,
bashful, sneezy, sleepy, dopey etc.)

Disney Princess Invitations
Disney Princess Decorations
The key to any princess party is to make the guests feel like royalty. Lots of pink & purple streamers & balloons are a must for a disney princess party. For Cinderella decorating ideas click here, Little Mermaid click here, Snow White click here.
Add some white Christmas lights to make things sparkle. Princess themed party supplies are a great addition. Print out some Princess coloring pages and have the kids color them & hang them up as decor.
You could even ask your guests to come dressed up as princes & princesses ( most kids will have a fancy dress , maybe even a little crown that they could wear ) - make sure to put this into your invitation. A great idea is to have someone ( an adult or teen ) come dressed up as Cinderella, Snow White, Belle etc ( you can rent or buy a costume ) , the kids will love it ! You can have 'the princess' read the guests a story ( maybe create your own story that involves all of the guests names )
An awesome ( but time consuming ) idea is to build a castle for the kids to play in. Gather up a bunch of huge boxes ( refrigerator boxes are great & check out Home Depot for some good sized ones ) Cut out windows and doors ( add turrets with paper towl rolls ) , paint the boxes and add some pretty fabric draped over the doorway and windows. If you have some leftover red fabric make a fancy runway to your castle. Get creative and have fun with it - here are a few ideas to help get you started. ( Take pictures of the Royal guests and send them along with thank you cards after the party )
More Decorating Ideas:
Princess Cakes & Food
- Make several types of sandwiches - pb & J, Cucumber & Cream Cheese , Cheese Whiz , Ham & Cheese etc. and then cut them out with princess themed cookie cutters ( stars , castles, hearts, glass slipper, apple etc )
- Order Pizza , or better yet let the kids get involved and have them make their own pizzas - provide lots of toppings to choose from and be prepared for a mess and a lot of laughs !

Princess Crafts
Select one craft that best suits your child's interest and age group.
2 Tbsp vegetable shortening (like Crisco)
1 Tbsp pre-sweetened Kool-Aid mix, any flavor
Mix together in microwave safe bowl and heat on HIGH 15 seconds at a time, until melted. Pour into small containers and refrigerate 45 minutes. (You can get those clear round plastic containers with screwtop lids at Michaels. I think they each hold about 2 ounces, and they are usually near the paint section.) Caution: This is for glossy lips only. This will not provide any protection from the sun at all.
1 cup aloe vera gel
Fine polyester glitter (any color, available at most craft stores)
One small cosmetic travel container for each girl~the kind you would
put hand cream in with a screw top.
Instructions: Fill the containers 1/4 full with aloe gel.
Pour a small amount of glitter in the container. Provide wood craft sticks or plastic coffee stir straws to the girls for mixing. Add more gel until the mix is complete. Close the lid. Decorate sticker labels with gel pens and attach to each container.
Have the kids make their own jewelry - necklaces , rings , bracelets or whatever - lots of great craft supplies for this can be found at your local dollar store.
