The Party

Birthday Girl

Yesterday we celebrated Sabi's birthday. The whole Fairy Tale theme worked out well. Our home was transformed into the Magical Kingdom of Sabi-Land. All of the guests came in costume.

A Little Unicorn

We ended up running the party in stations or centers. This is what we ended up with:


1) Jack's Nursery: (Jack and the Beanstalk)
Here the kids could make a book about growing a bean plant. Then they could plant their very own beans to take home and watch them grow.

2) Cinderella's Schoolhouse: (Cinderella)
In this center each child received a folder full of Fairy Tale themed worksheets that included crosswords, dot-to dots and sequencing.

3) The Shoemaker's Workshop: (The Elves and the Shoemaker)
Arts and Crafts! The kids got to decorate their own crown to wear.

4) The Big Bad Wolf's Library: (Little Red Riding Hood)

Fairy Tale Books

Here the kids got to read classic Fairy Tales and also twisted versions of these stories.

5) The Three Pig's Hotel: (The Three Pigs)
A resting stop with board games to play.

Twister

6) The Little Red Hen's Kitchen: (The Little Red Hen)
Decorate your own crown cookie to eat!

Sabi



The party was a hit! Sabina and her friends all had a blast. It was a good birthday celebration as well as end of summer vacation get together.

Lol... you're SUCH a teacher! I love how all of your centers tied in with the theme. And you even managed to make some of them educational! I might steal some of these ideas and do a fairy tale festival day in my classroom. Thanks for the inspiration!

The funny thing is that Sabi came up with the idea!

I am TOTALLY going to incorporate this into the classroom somehow. I put in too much work for this party to not re-use some of it.

A party with centers! Only a teacher would think that one up! Actually it was most likely the best managed party in years!
