Princess Birthday Party Ideas from Victoria’s 5th Birthday.

Victoria’s 5th birthday was coming soon and the closer we got, the more she’d talk to us about it. So we started planning. First we made some home made birthday cards  to invite her friends to the birthday party. Then we started thinking of how to entertain 10 kids in our living room and still survive the event.

Last year when we celebrated Victoria’s 4th birthday we baked cookies with the kids and did a crafts activity with Fisher TiP.  This year we wanted to try again a crafts activity, but we wanted to take a more organised approach to it. So we thought to do everything around a theme which ended up to be princesses and castles.

We did 3 activities with kids for Victoria’s 5th birthday party:

(1) A craft activity, to keep the kids busy and have a result that they could take home. We prepared a crafts box in advance, so we just had to take it out and we worked all together on the saloon table. And the result was that each of them could take home a self made princess and a castle.

If you’re interested to do this also, this is how we did the paper craft princesses  and the cardboard castles.

(2) An easy to do birthday cake. We bought 2 Herta cakes, which we decorated with some candles and a playmobil princess.

The cake was a great success, most of all as it got served with some fruits and cream, all in the shape of a princess ( yes yes…it is a princess you just need a bit of imagination, which luckily kids have 😛 )

(3) Some active time for the kids to burn out all that energy they got from the cake. For this we made a game, BUT we did not get to play it (maybe we’ll play it for another birthday party). Since the weather was super nice that day, we went to the nearby park where the kids played in the sand and ran around till the parents picked them up together with their castle, princess and  home made bag of candies.
