Fairy Party Ideas

We did a fairy themed birthday party for my daughter's 5th birthday.
 We started the party out with a scavenger hunt- clues were on flowers through out the house. Each clue lead to another. The kids really enjoyed running around in a big group together. At the end they all found their prizes- a tiara and pair of wings for each.

Next they did two crafts-

Butterflies - which were tag board cut-outs from Hobby Lobby

they added eyes, stickers and colored with markers.

Then they did the more involved craft below:

Fairy Wands

Items Needed: Dowels, ribbons, craft foam, jewels/buttons/sequins, hot glue, cookie cutters.
You can find all of these items at Wal-Mart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby etc.

 Wrap ribbon around dowel. Secure with hot glue (at least the top and bottom).

Use cookie cutters to select your shapes, press in foam and cut two layers at once (so they match perfectly).

Glue dowel and skinny ribbons to cut foam.

Glue around the entire edge to secure top piece to bottom and dowel.

Decorate with hot glue and buttons, jewels etc.
We had all the dowels covered with ribbons and the foam cut-outs done beforehand. The girls chose which dowel, which cut-outs (we had hearts, stars and butterflies in multiple colors, so each was unique), which little ribbons and how to decorate. I glued them for each child. They held up through the silly games they played the rest of the party.

Fairy Cake

 Make wings by piping melted chocolate onto wax paper-sprinkle with colored sugar. (They don't take long to set).

 The decorations--cut out of colored paper to match your theme.
