My little girl, like most 3-year-olds, is all about being a ballerina. After a fascination with the Nutcracker after her first showing this year, I knew a Sugar Plum Fairy Party was in order. As a mom I always appreciate parties that involve an activity or two to hold the children’s attention, so I planned a few crafts for the girls. I wanted to give them not only something to do at the party, but also things they could take home, display or wear for the rest of the season and beyond, and buzz about when they got together for play dates.
First up: a ballerina charm bracelet. What little girl doesn’t want one of those? The girls got so excited about the Ballerina Charms and the little Ballerina Dress Charms. I tied a knot on the end of the stretchy cording and let them create their masterpieces. I was fascinated how careful they each selected their beads, and the order in which they went on. When they were done stringing, us moms tied them together and voila! Instant ballerina bling!
Next on the agenda was a nutcracker of their very own to take home. It was a must! These Nutcracker Clothespin Crafts were so fun, easy, and perfect for their age– a mix of 2-6-year-old little girls. They were pretty much peel and stick. Each little girl was so proud of their handy work!
It was (somewhat) organized chaos:). The best kind with a kids’ party! This was one for the books.
