Tinkerbell Birthday Party Theme Ideas

Fun ideas for a Tinkerbell themed birthday party

Fun Ideas
Cover up the doorbell and place a sign outside the front door that says "Clap if you believe in fairies" - once they have shown they believe in fairies let them into the party.   This is also fun to do if you will be bringing out the cake or when you bring out prizes for games.

Tinkerbell Decoration Ideas
Purple, Green and Yellow are the traditional Tinkerbell colors. 
Decorate the party table with a green table cloth and sprinkle glitter or confetti on top - then cover with a clear plastic table cloth. 
Have artificial vines and flowers covering the party table with strings of small Christmas lights intertwined.
Old fashioned lanterns are a great touch on the party table.
Fill glass vases with large flowers (real or artificial) and tie green, purple or yellow tulle around the vases. 
Green, yellow and purple streamers and helium balloons.
Wrap green or purple tulle around party chairs and tie in large bows at the back.
Hang green and purple tulle across the party area and fill with artificial flowers and vines. 
Hang strings of Christmas lights around the party area.
Place pixie sticks in vases on the party table - tie with a pretty bow. 
Outside place helium balloons on the mailbox and hang flowers in the trees and bushes outside.  Place a sign by the front door that says "Welcome to Neverland!"

Tinkerbell Activities
Tinkerbell Slippers - let party guests make some cute fairy slippers out of flip-flops and pieces of green, pink, purple and yellow fabric.  Directions for our funky flip-flops.
Pixie Dust Art - make pixie dust art with sand art necklaces or containers.  Find kits in pastel colors and let guests make a container to take home.
Tinkerbell Skirts - let guests make their own fairy skirt.  Cut long pieces of ribbon that are big enough to go around the child's waist with room left over to tie a bow.  Cut long strips of tulle in green, pink, purple and yellow about 2" x 3 feet.  Lay the ribbon on a flat table and show guests how to fold the tulle strip in half, place the folded loop under the ribbon and then take the two ends of the tulle and put them through the loop.  Pull the ends so that the loop closes over the ribbon attaching itself into a loose knot.  Continue along the ribbon until it is full.  Tie skirts around the waists of the fairies.  Ribbon can also be added to the tulle.  For younger children make the skirts ahead of time and let them add the ribbon. 
Flower Pixie Pens - make a pretty pixie pen using pens or pencils, artificial flowers and florist tape.  Buy several different kinds of artificial flowers that have long stems.  Separate the flowers into individual stems.  Let guests choose a flower and then tape it to the pen with florists tape going around and around the pen to cover all of the flower stem.
Pixie Party Station - Have a Tinkerbell makeover station before the party begins.  Spray on glitter hair spray (pixie dust), and let the guests apply glitter body lotion, face tattoos of Tinkerbell  or sparkly eye shadow to get ready for the party.  Buy fairy wings and star shaped wands to equip the guests to be fairies. 
 

Tinkerbell Party Games
Mermaid Lagoon Fishing Game - This is a fun game for kids of all ages.  Set up a Mermaid lagoon fishing pond and let guests "fish" for prizes.  Guests will put their fishing pole (bamboo or wooden pole with string and a clothespin attached) over into the water - then an adult will clip a prize or piece of candy to the clothespin and the guest will pull the line from the water and collect their prize.  For the "water" use a large appliance box, hang a sheet across a doorway, or cover a table so that the "fish"  (and the person in the water) are hidden from view. Tie a string to a stick and attach a clothespin on the other end of the string.  Birthday party guests take turns "casting" the line into the "water". The person in the "water" puts small gifts, favors or candy on the clothespin and then tugs the string to signal that there is a "fish" on the line.  Have lots of prizes because they will all want to do this birthday party game again and again. 

Tinkerbell Fairy Treasure Hunt - Hide small objects around the party area, backyard or park for the guests to find.  You can use colored plastic rocks, flowers or similar objects to hide.  (For young children under the age of 3 be sure to hide larger items to prevent a choking hazard).  Whoever find the most items gets a bigger prize then the other children.

Fairy Tag - Played like traditional tag except one player starts as Tinkerbell and holds a wand.  She then must tag the other players with the wand.  Once players are tagged they must freeze and can't move until another player comes by and tags them - they must then both clap their hands and say "I believe in fairies" before they can move again.  When everyone is frozen a new Tinkerbell is chosen.

Shadow Tag - This game is played like traditional tag except that to tag someone the "tagger" must step on another players shadow.  When they step on a shadow the person who's shadow was tagged becomes "it".

Fairy Hop - To play this relay race game guests are divided into two teams.  Each team is given two sheets of colored paper.  At a distance from where the teams are lined up place two cones or objects that the players will have to go around before they go back to their team.  Players will use only the two pieces of paper to move across the playing area - they will have to put one piece of paper down, step on to it, then pick up the first piece of paper and put it in front of them and so on to make it around the cones and back to their team.  The first team with all of it's players completing the relay wins.

Who's got Tinkerbell's ring?  - You will need a very long piece of ribbon and a large ring.  Put the ribbon through the ring and tie the ends of the ribbon together.  Make sure the ring can move freely on the ribbon.  Sit the party guests in a big circle and have them each hold a piece of the ribbon with both hands.  The first Tinkerbell will stand in the middle of the circle and close her eyes, then she will slowly spin in a circle three times (this is to distract her from peeking). While Tinkerbell is turning in her circles the girls holding the ribbon will slide the ring from one girl to another.  One girl will hide the ring in her hand while holding the ribbon.  Tinkerbell then has 3 chances to guess which one of the fairies has her ring.  If she chooses right the girl who is holding the ring trades places and becomes the new Tinkerbell.  If she is wrong she has to close her eyes and start again.

Tinkerbell Party Food Ideas
Foods cut with a star shaped cookie cutter - fruit, jello jigglers, rice krispie treats, sandwiches, cookies, etc.
Set up a cupcake or cookie decorating station and let the guests decorate with fairy dust (sprinkles, colored sugar, and/or small candies).
Fruit Wand Kabobs - skewer fruit onto sticks
A Tinkerbell Tea Party would be fun - let guests put colored sugar (pixie dust!) into their tea (we use unsweetened lemonade and let them add sugar).
