Magical Makeover
Conjure up a little pixie magic and make
your guests feel like dainty little fairies
with a sparkly makeover by Tinker Bell herself!
You'll need your choice of lip gloss that
sparkles, glitter blush or eye shadow, non-toxic
nail polish in bright sparkling colors, and
tiny prismatic stickers.
Enlist a fun-loving mom or teenage girl
to play the role of Tinker Bell, complete
with fairy wings, a sparkling face and a
wand to spread her fairy magic. For more
fun, let the birthday child dress up as Tinker
Bell (or her little helper) as well.
As each guest arrives, Tinker Bell should
wave her magic wand and lead them to her
makeover table. There, each guest should
receive a dab of glitter blush, eye shadow
or lip gloss to brighten her face. Allow
each guest to choose her favorite color of
nail polish and give her a quick manicure.
Use a blow dryer to dry fingernails quickly,
or ask each little pixie to flick her fingers
in the air for about sixty seconds. When
nails are dry, let each guest choose a tiny
sticker for each fingernail.
Flower Wreaths
Crown the little fairies at your party with
flower wreaths to make them feel extra
special! Gather fresh flowers, or purchase
silk/paper flowers at a craft store. If
you choose fresh flowers, baby’s
breath is inexpensive, easy to work with,
and delicately beautiful. Miniature roses
or daisies make wonderful wreaths as well.
Provide each guest with a piece of ribbon,
about 3 ft. long.
Demonstrate how to begin: hold a flower
by the stem and lay it flat on the ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the stem tightly;
add another flower. Make sure the stems are
always lying flat on the ribbon as you wind
the ribbon around. Continue until the wreath
is large enough to fit a child’s head;
tie a knot with the extra ribbon. Make wreaths
with two shades of ribbon for a pretty effect!
Smiling Sprites
Your party pixies are sure to giggle with
delight, even though they’re forbidden
to smile!
The game begins with the children sitting
in a circle, so everyone can see one another.
Let the birthday child start the game by
grinning happily while all other participants
keep straight faces. Once everyone has seen
the birthday child’s big smile, she
then wipes the smile from her face and throws
it to another party guest, who must catch
the smile with his or her hand and put it
on.
After catching the smile and putting it
on, the newly smiling sprite may choose to
throw it to someone else or taunt the somber
players for a few moments with a wild grin.
(Put a time limit on each grin if players
are slow to pass on their happy role.) Remember
that all other players must remain seated
and must not crack a smile. One smirk and
they’re out!
Tinker Bell's Secret Help
Tinker Bell get a message to Peter Pan with
this hilarious game! Seat your guests in
a circle. The birthday child (Tinker Bell)
thinks of a secret message and whispers
it to the person on the right. Continue
until it travels around the circle to the
last person (Peter Pan) who tells the message
out loud. Compare the message that Peter
Pan received with Tinker Bell's original
message! Try again with another secret
and continue until your guests are ready
for another activity.
