Activities

  • Set up a dress-up station – princess dresses, knights outfits, shoes, tiaras; as much as you can find. Split the children into teams and have each team line up in a single-file line. Players should choose one person on their team to be the Royal and everyone else will be the runners. All of the other players will take turns running from their line to the box on the other side of the room and picking out an item of clothing to dress up their Royal. The first team to dress their Royal with all of the items wins.

  • Set up a storytelling corner where guests can gather to listen to classic tales or even participate in interactive storytelling sessions.

  • Have a bowl full of water and put in a selection of green apples and one red apple. Each party guest must wear a blindfold and then with their hands behind their back and using their mouth only must try and pick up an apple with their teeth and take it out of the bowl. They mustn’t get the red one or they are out! Obviously, apples shouldn’t be put back in the bowl once they have been caught.

  • Host a royal treasure hunt or a quest to rescue a captured princess from a tower.

  • For creative souls, offer arts and crafts stations where guests can design their own crowns, wands, or shields.

  • Split into teams and give each team a selection of Lego blocks, including some castle items. Give them a time limit and judge the best castle build after that time. You could different categories – biggest, most creative, most fun castle etc.

  • Download our free Disney Printables and have the children color them.

Fairytale Feast

No fairytale party would be complete without a feast fit for kings and queens. Serve up themed treats and delicacies, from fairy wing cupcakes to dragon-shaped cookies. Create a dessert table adorned with cascading tulle, towering cake stands, and edible glitter. Don't forget to offer a selection of magical beverages, such as shimmering mocktails and enchanted potions served in ornate goblets.
