Coolest Child Birthday Party Idea

A little fairy dreamt up the most enchanting child birthday party idea ever seen in Neverland. Her name was Tinkerbell, and here's her very own child birthday 'fairybration'...

First off, here are the coolest Fairy party packs and party supply items available today:

A cool child birthday party idea for fairy invitations is to take a rectangular piece of paper (so that the long side is horizontal to you) and fold in both of the sides to the middle so it looks like a gate. On the outside write something like: "Take a peek through the garden gate". Then on the inside put lots of fairy and butterfly stickers peeking out through holes you've cut in the gate itself.

Inside you can write: "The garden fairies have gathered to celebrate a special day for a great little fairy" (and add her name and age). "Please come join the fairybration".

Another Tinkerbell child birthday party idea for an invitation is to cut out magical wands (a long rectangle for the stick and a star for the top of the wand). Using a silver gel pen, or any other nice pen, you can write this poem on the rectangular paper before rolling it up:

"Far, far away, in a magical place, sits a small little fairy, with her soft smiling face. She waits for her friends, in the warm summer sun; won't you come on (date of the party) to join the fun? With fun foods to eat, and fun games to play, your arrival at (time of the party) will make (kid's name's) day. She anxiously waits, as each day passes by, while her fairy parents await your reply" (and then write RSVP and your phone #).

You can also write that all the fairies come dressed in their fairy best - and boys in their pixie best. Don't forget to add a lot of fairy dust (glitter and confetti), and possibly fairy stickers to the invitation (you can also enclose fairy tattoos).

Here's an entire page full of Fairy Pictures, posters, coloring pages, and all sorts of other imagery to help you create your own homemade decorations.

The dominant colors of your Tinkerbell birthday party should be lavender, pink, purple, blue cream and silver (and more pastel-like colors). You can also hang these Metallic foil curtains in the doorway so the kids will feel like they are entering a magical place.

A fun child birthday party idea is to throw some sparkle glitter on the guests as they arrive or put this cool bubble machine in the entrance to shower the guests and get them into the fairy mood as the arrive.

Another nice child birthday party idea is to take flowers (even real ones) and tie their stems to clear fishing line and hang them from the ceiling. For a different effect hang them from colored yarn. You can also place them in vases around the house and disperse them on tables and shelves.

If you have a garden or a nearby park, it can serve as a great setting for the kids to eat and play.

If the party is at night, a cool Tinkerbell child birthday party idea is to line the pathway to your house with different colored lunch bags half filled with sand and with a candle inside. The bags glow magnificently once you light the candles (you can also punch holes in the top part of the bag to create twinkling stars).

Another great Fairy child birthday party idea that adds the magical touch is decorating the party area with Christmas lights. Here is really nice twinkle star gossamer you can put on your walls, on chairs, in your doorways, etc.

Dress up your little girl as a fairy with ballet clothes and a garland (you can get lots of ideas from these fairy costumes...)

If you have some spare time on your hands, you can make your own fairy wings. It's lots of fun, let alone rewarding.

Click here for detailed wing-making instructions and to view a huge selection of ready-made fairy costumes.

If you've made or purchased fairy wings, have each guest earn them as they arrive by going outside and looking for a little fairy hidden in the yard.

Once a guest finds a fairy, they can go choose wings and put them on. Another Fairy child birthday party idea is to make flower-encrusted headbands (you can make simple ones by hot gluing silk flowers onto plastic headbands) and for the boys you can make green felt pixie hats (also handmade).

*Makeover Stations: With a little help from Tinkerbell, you can make your guests feel like dainty little fairies with a sparkly makeover. For example, at the fingernail painting station you can offer a couple of different non-toxic nail polish in bright sparkling colors (use a blow dryer to dry them quickly or ask each little fairy to flick her fingers in the air for about sixty seconds). You'll need your choice of lip gloss that sparkles, glitter blush or eye shadow, and tiny prismatic stickers to jazz up the activity.

*Beaded Wand Activity: Have the kids make wands out of wooden steak skewers. Prepare star shapes out of any thick paper. Have the kids glue on a star to the tip of the wooden skewer, and then glue another one, to the back of the first star, so that the wooden skewer isn't seen (so for each wand, 2 stars are needed). Once the glue is dry, either spray paint the whole thing silver, having the kids decorate it, or let them color their stars with markers, stickers, etc. And, of course, have them sprinkle different color fairy dust (glitter) over their wands to make then truly magical.

*Fairy Craft Area: A fun Tinkerbell child birthday idea for an icebreaker is this excellent Necklace-Making Child Birthday Party Idea or this box-of-beads kit. Or, for the sake of simplicity, have the kids make tasty edible necklaces out of licorice string, fruit loops, cheerios, and gummy lifesavers.

*Plastic Champagne Glasses: Another cool Tinkerbell child birthday party idea is to get a bunch of plastic champagne glasses and have the kids decorate them with stickers, markers, stick-on jewels, glitter, etc. Later on, the kids'll love using these glasses as their drinking glasses.

Simply use your favorite sugar cookie recipe or get the Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookies. Roll out the dough, and cut it out using a star-shaped cookie cutter (then bake according to instructions). As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, and are still warm and soft to the touch, carefully push a plastic straw or wooden skewer (with the tip cut off) between any two points of the star (this makes the handle for your magic fairy wand). Then frost the cookies with glossy icing. You can also add a few drops of food coloring in the dough for different colored wands (these wand cookies are a bit fragile, but they're very tasty and fun treats to eat!

Here are some ideas for your Tinkerbell birthday party foods (don't forget to put small decorated signs on each dish just to make sure everyone understands that they're eating real fairy foods…):

*Fairy Bread: Lightly butter white bread, spread with lots of sprinkles, and cut into triangles.
*Fairy Burgers: Cut the hamburgers into star shapes with star cookie cutters.
*Hotdog wands
*Cream cheese and strawberry jam sandwiches (you can cut these with star, heart, diamond etc. shaped cookie cutters)
*Jewel Salad (a salad with dried cranberries, golden raisins, cherries etc.)
*Fruits out of wine glasses (or in a watermelon basket where you can cut the watermelon with heart, star, diamond etc. shaped cookie cutters)

Tip: A cool Tinkerbell child birthday party idea is to sprinkle fairy dust onto the food (it could practically be anything, such as salt, pepper, parsley dust, etc.) and just put in little containers. With puffy paint write on them "fairy dust".

*Fairy fizz - Place a full glass of red punch in front of each guest and add some fairy dust (a few Pop Rocks candies) to each cup. The kids just love it when the candy crackles, pops, and splits when it comes into contact with the liquid.
*Sparkling apple cider (you can pour it into disposable plastic wine glasses and let the kids decorate the glasses with jewels, sequins, glitter etc. beforehand)
*Fairy punch (raspberry sherbet and Sprite)
*Pink lemonade
*Strawberry tea (If you want to add more of that strawberry taste to your strawberry tea, do the following: make half a pot of strawberry tea with three bags, let it steep a bit and then add a few drops of strawberry extract and three or four drops of red coloring. Then add milk and sugar to taste)

*Magic wands (pretzel rods dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with star-shaped decorations or just plain sprinkles)
*Fresh-fruit wands (take wooden steak skewers and put grapes, strawberries, and other cut fruit on them and at the top put a melon cut into the shape of a star using a star-shaped cookie cutter).
*Chocolate-covered Fruit (melt good-quality white, milk or dark chocolate in the microwave until you can stir it smooth. Dip strawberries, grapes, and orange slices halfway into the melted chocolate. Lay them on wax paper and let them cool a couple of hours. Once cool, gently peel off the wax paper and serve on a fancy plate.)
*Heart-shaped or star-shaped rice crispy treat wands (you can add a stick in them to look like wands; also you can dip in chocolate and add sprinkles for more of the wand effect)
*Magic gems (A bowl of pastel colored jelly beans, skittles, etc.)
*Cotton candy wands
*Marshmallow wands
*Fairy dust (pixie sticks)

If you want to fill your own, a cool child birthday party ideas is to put fairy dust (pixie sticks), fairy stickers and tattoos, wands, bubbles, ring suckers, stick on earrings, plastic jewelry, all kinds of bracelets, jewels, hair accessories, ring-pops, magical wands, body glitter, fairy stickers, stick-on earrings and a whole lot of other cool fairy trinkets.

For the boys you can prepare pirate favors in little treasure boxes or in bandann. Fill them with ring pops, candy necklaces, skull pops, golden chocolate coins, a compass, gem pop rings, candy necklaces, tattoos, gold chocolate coins, small telescopes, skull key chains, skull pencils, etc.
