Slumber parties and sleepovers are a staple of every little girl's childhood. It doesn't take much to throw a sleep-over party that all the kids will enjoy. Here are some crafty ideas that will be fun for the kids as well as inexpensive. Does this Spark an idea?
Invitations
It's easy to buy fun and funky invitations for sleepovers, but it would be even better if you made them yourself. Since the night is going to be full of fun and crafts, bring out that inner artist and create your own invitations. Head to a craft supply store and find all the materials necessary for your invitations, then use your creativity to decorate them.
Sleepover Activities
Think about cute things that the guests can take home with them to remember their night. Something as simple as a t-shirt with their individual names on it and the date and place of the sleepover can be creative and fun for everyone.
Another idea would be even craftier with decorating jewelry boxes, picture frames or even hair clips. You can buy bags of fake jewels and craft glue at the craft stores along with wooden boxes, and all of these would be fairly inexpensive. It gives everyone the opportunity to make unique gifts for them that they can take home and use forever.
If you want all the kids to have a good laugh, think about a talent show or even karaoke. You can draw names from a hat to make the groups of singers, and have someone be the judge. You could even purchase small prizes from party stores to give out to the winners. Make sure to buy enough for everyone though so no one is left out of the prize-winning.
Get Personal
Everyone knows girls love to be girly, so why not have a mini-makeover session? Again, you can buy inexpensive supplies such as nail polish, hair clips and makeup.
You can also have a small gossip session, or talk about the fun things they have done over the weekend so far, and about plans that they have for the rest of the weekend.
Food
Always make sure to have fun food. Fresh fruit is sweet and healthy, popcorn for movie time, and smores. Definitely have chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows ready to roast.
You also can play the blindfold game where someone mixes different ingredients found in the kitchen and another person has to guess what they are, blindfolded of course.
