When planning an Aurora-themed princess birthday party, dreamy crafts are a must! After all, no Sleeping Beauty celebration is complete without spinning wheels, enchanted roses, and a sprinkle of fairy dust. These creative, hands-on activities will delight little guests while immersing them in a world of fantasy, elegance, and happily-ever-afters.
Let’s explore some spellbinding craft ideas that perfectly pair with your Aurora-inspired celebration.
Make-Your-Own Enchanted Crown
No birthday party princess would be complete without her royal headwear. Set up a crown-making station with pink foam tiaras, jewel stickers, glitter glue, and satin ribbons. For extra fun, let each little royal give their creation a magical name like “Aurora’s Dream Crown” or “Merryweather’s Sparkle Tiara.”
Not only does this activity give guests something fun to do, but it also doubles as a party favor they’ll proudly wear all party long!
Fairy Wand Workshop
Channel Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather with a fairy wand crafting table. All you need are wooden dowels, sparkly foam stars, ribbon, and plenty of glitter. Each guest can create their own enchanted wand to help “grant wishes” throughout the party.
They’ll be waving these around during dancing, cake time, and any magical moments that call for a little sparkle.
Rose Garden Painting Station
Since the sleeping princess is often surrounded by roses, let guests paint their own enchanted rose gardens. Provide canvas boards, flower stencils, and pastel paint palettes. For younger artists, pre-draw the rose outlines to make it easier (and less messy).
Bonus: These make the perfect keepsake for parents to hang on the fridge or frame in a nursery.
Aurora-Inspired Dress-Up Dolls
If your crew enjoys quiet play, try printable Aurora dress-up dolls. Offer cardstock cutouts of Aurora and multiple paper dresses in pink and blue (we’re not picking sides between Flora and Merryweather!). Let each child color, cut, and mix and match their own fashion fantasy.
This activity is a peaceful crowd-pleaser before cake or storytime.
Invite a Real Princess to Join the Fun
To make the party truly unforgettable, consider adding a special guest: Aurora herself! A live princess impersonator can read stories, lead the crafts, play princess party games, and pose for photos.
