For my daughter's 5th birthday, she wanted to have a Polly Pocket party.
She always picks themes that no one seems to have done before...which I love because it really gets my creative juices flowing!
This party could be used, not only for a Polly Pocket Party, but for a Barbie Party, Bratz Party, or for any fashion doll (or fashion for the sake of fashion, of course! :-)) This is what we did...
Kid Party Decorations
In the front yard, we had a bunch of balloons and side walk chalk marking the way the party.
The party area was filled with balloons and crepe paper streamers to match the colors of the plates and napkins.
For music, we played popular Radio Disney songs.
Arrival Activities and Ice Breakers
Beauty stations - A “dressing room” complete with glittery hair spray, nail polish, body jewels, eyeshadow and body glitter.
Decorate a fun fashion item, such as a picture frame or foam purse with foam stickers.
Fashion Doll Party Kid Party Games
Since our fashion doll party was a Polly Pocket party, we used "Polly" in these games listed below. Substitute the name of your favorite fashion doll - Barbies, Bratz, etc.
Parachute - always a hit! We bounced bean bags on our colorful parachute toy.
Monster Monster Game - OK, this has nothing to do with Fashion, but we love it so. Just have to play it at every party.
Pinata - Stuffed it full of candy and rings, bracelets, ring pops, candy necklaces...
Pin the Clothes on Polly - we made our own drawing of Polly, and the I cut out clothes for her. Everyone had something different - a pair of pants, a shoe, a purse, etc.
Balloon Game - Again, nothing to do with fashion, but the kids love it.
Bean bag toss - We tossed bean bags into a large shopping bag. I stuck a cardboard box inside to help the side stand up and out.
Duck Duck Goose - We said "Polly", "Polly", "Pocket" on this one.
Hullaballoo - Yes, the classic game. The kids had a great time with this one!
Musical Dress Up - We did have boys at our party, so I included items that they wouldn't mind wearing - hats, sunglasses, etc. They loved it too!
