INVITATIONS
Send invitations 2-3 weeks before the party.

Create your own unique magic wand party invitation with card stock paper and lollipop stick. Both can be found at your local craft store. Use a cookie cutter to trace a star shape on your paper. Cut two stars for each invitation. Glue the stick in between both stars. Decorate one side with
a glitter glue pen and write your message.
"Come and share the Magic of _____'s Birthday"
Then include the party details on the other side.
Add a sprinkle of glitter into the envelope before mailing.

DECORATIONS FOR YOUR ABBY CADABBY BIRTHDAY PARTY
The color scheme for this Abby Cadabby party will be pink and lavender.
Keep it simple with plenty of balloons, streamers and table decorations
or go all out with a storybook or Sesame Street theme.
Do you know a talented teen that could help you paint a few large appliance boxes with a storybook flare? Colored butcher paper and poster board will also come in handy. Over sized flowers fairy stars and ideas inspired by the Mother Goose tales will work. For a sesame street feel - include posters, alphabet letters and plush toys of popular Sesame street Characters like Zoe and Elmo, Rosita and Prairie Dawn are a nice touch.
Upon arrival welcome your guest with their own fairy crown and a set of wings – this will set the stage for a really fun party!

ABBY CADABBY PARTY GAMES AND CRAFTS

Stick the Star on Abby Cadabby's Wand
"Oh-No", Abby's magic wand is broken and the players must repair it!
This game is played just like Pin-the-tail-on-the-Donkey.
Use poster board to make the game board and cardstock to make stars.
Draw a simple wand on the poster board, without the star on the end.
Add some glitter and other decorations if you choose. On one side of the stars attach double stick tape then write the players names on the other side. When it's time to play, gently blindfold a player with a satin sash, spin her gently three times and point her in the direction of the game board.
The player will try to stick the star near the tip of the wand. The player with the nearest star is the winner!
TIP: Young players may not want to be blindfolded and they can just close their eyes.

Abby Cadabby Tag
Play this game just like "Freeze Tag". 
Give each player a small pouch of glitter before playing.
One player will be "it". When you say "GO" the girls run from "IT". 
If she tags a player, that player is frozen until another player sprinkles fairy dust on her. Make sure that each player has a turn to be "it" 
and that each round does not take too long.

Make a Abby Cadabby Fairy Wand 
Small dowel pieces, pink, purple and white chenille stems or star garland create a fun wand to take home...
Before the party, paint all of the dowel pieces with silver spray paint 
and cut the garland pieces. During the party guests will wrap the chenille stems and/or garland around the end of their dowel pieces, to make a "spray" on the end of the wand. You may want to secure the pieces with
a hot glue gun (adults only!) Use a pencil to curl the chenille or garland.


Create a Fairy Friend
This is best for parties of 8 children or less and you will need helping hands.

We just adapted our Tinkerbell fairy craft to pink for Abby Cadabby

You'll need:
White coffee filter, pink/red food coloring, wooden craft clothes pins,
fine tipped craft pens, pink yarn, and medicine droppers. Before the party, paint the clothes pins with white spray paint.
Flatten the coffee filters to make circles. Cover the work area.
Mix the pink food color with water and pour the mixture into muffin tins or plastic bowls. The children will use the medicine droppers to drop color onto the coffee filters. It doesn't take very much, as the color will spread.
While the filter is drying. Help the girls cut small amounts of yarn and
glue it to the top of the clothespin (Abby’s Hair). Use the craft pens to make faces on the heads of the clothes pins. Then "scrunch-up" the now dry pink coffee filter and insert it in the clothespin to make Abby’s wings.


Kit’s Tips
To make this craft even easier...paint the clothes pins pink before the party and use the white coffee filters without food color. This will make the body pink and the wing's white.
Ask an adult to help you dry the coffee filters with a hair dryer to speed things along. You may want to make this craft with smaller clothes pins and use yarn to make a necklace.
 

Easy to Make Cupcakes
Add food color to white cake batter to make light pink cupcakes.
Frost with white frosting. Sprinkle "Pixie Dust" (colored sugar) on each cupcake and insert a star shaped cupcake pick into each one.
