PRINCESS AND FROG PARTY DECORATIONS
Green and pink would be the best match for this party theme. A little silver touch here and there would also be great. Create leaves out of construction paper to suggest the swampy bayou. Hang silver streamers from the ceiling draping down to the ground to add that mystical element. You could also create firefly shaped cookies and decorate them with yellow icing as decorations and as tasty treats. Cover your table with matching party items. Make your own centerpiece with a stuffed frog wearing a little crown. Consider playing some classic jazz music in the background. It’s a great opportunity to introduce your kids to the era.

Princess Coloring Castle
Create a castle for the children to decorate, using a large appliance box. You can spray paint it or cover the box with butcher paper, before the party. Provide markers and crayons for the children use for decorating. This will not only serve as a great party decoration, but it will also provide plenty of party entertainment for you little princesses. They can color and play in the castle throughout the birthday party.
A SPECIAL WELCOME
Announce the guests upon arrival and present them with their very own Royal Princess or Prince Crown. Then direct the children to the coloring castle. Where they will color and play, until all of the guests have arrived. End the party with this quiet coloring time as well to settle the kids down. Parents will really appreciate the thought!
PRINCESS AND THE FROG PARTY GAMES
Frog, Frog, Prince/Princess
A variation on duck, duck, goose, this fun classic can be modified also by having the kids hop like frogs around the circle rather than running.
Stick the Kiss on the Frog
Can the princess find her prince? Played just like "Pin the Tail on the Donkey". Enlist an artistic teen to make you a Toad or Frog on a piece of poster board. Draw and cut several red lips from card stock paper. On the day of the party, add double stick tape to one side of the lips and write the girls’ names on the other.
Musical Lilypads
Create a bunch of large lily pads out of green poster board. Using the movie soundtrack, or some 20’s jazz music, have the kids hop (or dance) around the room until the music stops. You can either play it so that a child has to go wait in the swamp area when they’re “out” or you can get the kids to try and help one another to all squeeze onto the remaining lily pads together.

Frog Pinata Fun
Fill a Frog Pinata with small princess toys, plastic jeweled rings and candy. Pinatas also make wonderful decorations!
Bayou Red Rover
Write Royal titles onto 3x5 cards: frog, princess, prince, voodoo magician, mama odie, alligator, firefly and so on. Add yarn for the children to wear around their necks. At game time, every player selects a card. When Red Rover is played say "Red Rover, Red Rover send your frog on over…” and the frog runs to the other team.
More Classic Games...with a Swampy Twist:
Simon Says, becomes "Dr. Facilier Says"
Mother May I, becomes “Princess May I?"
PRINCESS AND FROG PARTY CRAFTS
Plan some fun crafts for your party guests!
Make a Wand
Children can fashion their own wands with small wooden dowels, glitter, glue and several strands of satin ribbon. Before the party, paint the dowels with silver spray paint and cut the pieces of ribbon. During the party the girls will add sequins and the ribbons.
Variation - if you have boys at the party they can make royal shields with craft foam, stick on jewels and gel pens. Be sure you have plenty of hands to help.
Create Your Own Tiaras
This full kit from Birthday in a Box lets your little princesses create their own foam tiaras.
Royal Play Dough
Before the party make a batch or two of Play Dough (click for recipe). Provide each child with a ball of dough and some fine glitter (craft store). The children will work the glitter into the dough. Package each of the guests dough into a Zip-loc bag to be taken home as a party favor.
Pretty as a Princess Picture Frame
Requires a Polaroid or digital camera. Use cardboard or craft foam picture frames. Provide stickers, stick on jewels and gel pens to use for decorating the frame. Take an instant photo and place it in the frame.
PRINCESS PARTY FAVORS
Kid-safe body glitter, hair ties, stickers, wands, princess coloring book, frog beanie toys, bubbles, chocolate coins... placed in a pink bag or basket will surely send your guests home with a smile!

For a super easy cake...
Bake and frost a round cake. Add inverted sugar ice cream cones around the edge to form a crown. Use frosting to attach pink and white gumballs on the tip of each sugar cone. You can also add more candy, or frosting jewels around the edges or on the sugar cones.
