THEMES

Disney Princess Party

Decorations
Spread your tablecover on your party table. If your child has any theme-related toys, you can add them to the table for a more festive display.

Cut several one-to-two-foot-long pieces of curling ribbon. Curl the ribbon by pulling it between your thumb and the blade of your scissors. Lay the resulting curls on your table for added color. Hang balloons in bunches for the best effect. If you choose to fill balloons with helium, wait until the party day to ensure they float well!

Use balloons to mark the party spot; hang them on the mailbox, near the front door, or tie them to the birthday child's chair to mark the seat of honor.

Place balloons anywhere that strikes your fancy. The more the better!

Gather six or eight streamers and attach them to the ceiling in the center of the party room (or over the table). Use a light fixture over the table, if you have one, as the center point for the streamers.

To create colorful two-tone streamers, put two differently colored streamers back-to-back, twist as you walk them to the wall, and attach at shoulder height.

Magic Wands
Make your celebrations even more fun and easy with home-baked treats from Pillsbury®, our favorite brand of baking mixes.

2. Dip each pretzel rod in melted frosting, turning to coat completely. Roll in candy sprinkles; place on foil­lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until frosting is set.

Games

Mermaid Races
Wrap green crepe paper around guests' legs (from below the knees to ankles) to turn them into mermaids. Set up starting and finishing lines in your living room or back yard and have the mermaids race. The guest who hops across the finish line first wins a prize.

Make A Wish
Have each child see how many ping pong balls they can get in a bucket. But they must make a wish before they toss the ball.
The one who gets most of her wishes in wins.

Pass the Apple
Just like hot potato but whoever gets caught with the poison apple is out.
