Start this game by telling the story "The Princess and the Pea." Then invite the girls to see how they'd fare in this princess-detecting test.
What you need:
• Story of "The Princess and the Pea"
• Pillows
• A small ball
Everyone takes a turn sitting on four pillows arranged in a row on the floor and trying to guess which one the pea, a small ball, is under. (Move the ball after each turn while the current contestant is out of the room.)
If the girls are up for a greater challenge, try a second round using a marble instead of a ball.
SPECIAL TOUCHES
A Royal Menu: Serve dainty cracker-and-cream-cheese sandwiches, pink lemonade poured into pretty punch glasses, and a Princess Castle Cake or the Ice Cream Castle Cake. If cupcakes are more your style, try baking these Queen Cupcake treats.
Fanciful Favors: Sparkly butterfly hair clips, candy rings, and pretty stickers are just the take-home tokens little princesses are sure to fancy.
