Once upon a time there was a little six year old girl who loved yellow. Allie loved yellow so much that Belle was her favourite princess.  After coming to the Sleeping Beauty party as a guest, she decided that she should have a Beauty and the Beast Party for her next birthday, so she did.

Beauty and the Beast Party Decorations

We were greeted by this sweet sign on the front door that set the tone for the day. It's made with scrap book paper letters, and fabric roses added with a glue gun. It's was the perfect entry to the party.

Most of the decorations for the party were gold and red, and there were lots of roses, and books -since Belle loves to read, and the enchanted rose is such an important part of the story.

The potted roses by the front door were pretty decor, but also take home favors, along with a bookstore gift card -the perfect themed favor idea for a Beauty and the Beast party.

Beauty and the Beast Party Table

Inside the table was set for the party, and it looked amazing.  There were lots and lots of fun and easy little details, that created a big wow factor for the little guests.  One of my favourites was the cutlery chandelier, inspired by the movie.

It was made by hot gluing plastic gold plastic cutlery to three different sizes of embroidery hoops and then attaching them to the light fixture.  It looked great and really set the tone for the table.

Allie’s mom, Heather, started the table with a gold tablecloth, and then made the neatest table runner out of old book pages from the thrift store, just glued together.  It looked amazing.

The plastic glasses got the glitter treatment on their bases, and the cutlery had some red stick-on gems to dress them up.

I loved the little detail of the simple red paper napkins folded into roses and tucked in to little tea cups that reminded us of Chip.

Each little guest had the prettiest placard too, a gold frame from the party store decorated with their name and a rose sticker.

The back of the chairs were decorated with some ribbon and tulle and some faux roses.  Amazing what a little ribbon in the right spot can do!

Most of the decor came from the party store and dollar store. It's amazing how these inexpensive items look amazing with a few added touches, like glitter, and gem stickers.

Drink Station

There was a little drink table to the side with pretty decorated water bottles and lemonade.  All the kids loved the gold straws.

Heather found the pretty toothpicks with the roses on the end at the party store and made skewers with blueberries and marshmallows.  I love the detail of using the gold teacup to put them in.  Everything was just so cute.

The Food

On the buffet was a feast of Beauty and the Beast themed treats, and they were as yummy as they look!

Everything was bite sized and kid friendly, and so adorable.

• Assorted tea sandwiches, including Mrs. Pots teapot shaped sandwiches
• Crossiants
• Individual Veggies and Dip
• Belle Sugar Cookies
• Grey Stuff
• Jello
• Rose Strawberry Shortcakes
• Cupcakes

Heather always makes the most amazing sugar cookies, and for the Beauty and the Beast party she made Belle’s dress sugar cookies.

There was also jello, served in pretty plastic cups, and layered red and yellow to match the party colours.  Heather also put together rose strawberry shortcakes.  She used store-bought bases, whipped cream, and then arranged the strawberries on top like a rose -so clever.

There were also little sandwiches.  There were “Mrs. Pots” teapot snapped jam sandwiches, and little mini ham and cheese baguettes.  And since it’s France of course, some croissants, and some cucumber sandwiches.

There was also “the grey stuff”…remember the song “try the grey stuff it’s delicious, don’t believe us, ask the dishes”.  It was delicious, a sweet cookie moose topped off with a sugar rose. Get our Grey Stuff Recipe here.

Heather found the perfect rose cupcake liners for the pretty cupcakes.  There was also veggies and dip cups.  This is the perfect way to serve them for little guests -no double dipping issues when you have your own.

The Beauty and the Beast themed food was amazing, delicious and so fun.

Beauty and the Beast Party Games and Activities

There were five great Beauty and Beast themed party activities with simple ideas that tied into the movie really well.  

It’s not a really obvious theme when it comes to activities so she really had to put her thinking cap on and get creative.  I think she did a great job. These activities also appealed to both boys and girls, and different age ranges, which was great.

Decorate An Enchanted Mirror

The first activity station was to "Decorate An Enchanted Mirror”.  Remember the enchanted mirror in the movie that Belle uses to see her Father?  

Heather found some clear plastic mirrors at the dollar store, and then had some glitter glue, stick on gems, ribbons, and letter stickers.  

• dollar store mirrors
• glitter glue
• gem stickers
• ribbon
• letter stickers

The kids all had great fun personalizing their mirrors.

Chip's Bubbling Tea

The next activity was "Chip's Bubbling Tea".  Remember the part in the movie where Chip, the little teacup shows Belle his trick of blowing bubbles in his tea?  

Heather used a drink-dispenser jar with a pouring spout, and filled it with bubbles.  Such a great idea to cut down on the mess!  The kids filled up plastic disposable plates, and then blew bubbles until their hearts were content.

• drink dispenser filled with bubble formula
• small paper plates
• bubble wands

Gaston's Target Practise

The next activity was "Gaston’s Target Practise", again from a scene in the movie where Gaston is practising with his bow and arrow.

Heather picked up a few toy nerf bow and arrow sets, and set up a picture of the Beast for target practise.  The kids loves this game.

• nerf bow and arrow sets
• beast target

Make A Teacup Bird Feeder

The next activity was to “Make a Teacup Bird Feeder”, based on the scene in the movie where Belle and the Beast feed the birds in the garden.

The teacups were all hung in the tree, and everyone picked one out that they liked -it looked so pretty!

To make the bird feeder, Heather super-glued the cup to the saucer.  The glued cup and saucer could be filled with bird seed for the birds.  

These were sent  home in the favour bag, along with a little container of bird seed.

• tea cups
• ribbon
• super glue
• small containers of bird seed

Maurice's Inventions

The final activity was “Maurice’s Inventions” centre.  Belle’s father Maurice was an inventor, and always working on his inventions in the movie.  

Heather set up the table with lots of fun things, and open ended materials.  There was construction paper, egg cartons, felt, tin foil, wire, tape, glue, markers, pencil crayons, and pipe cleaners.

• construction paper
• egg cartons
• felt
• tin foil
• wire
• tape
• glue
• markers
• pencil crayons
• pipe cleaners
• scissors
• note books and pencils
• styrofoam balls
• coloured string
• old bottle caps
• wood cubes
• toothpicks
• skewers
• popsicle sticks

There was also a tray of fun bits and bobs, like styrofoam balls, coloured string, old caps, wooden cubes, wooden buttons, toothpicks, skewers, and different sizes of popsicle sticks.

All the children had a little notebook, to work out their invention ideas, and then they could make whatever they liked.  Some of the kids made a quick invention and then went off to play.  Others, lingered at the table for a long time, and kept thinking of new things to make.  It was the perfect last station, so the kids who loved it could say there as long as they liked.

Open Activity Stations

All the stations stayed open throughout the party, so at the end, the kids could return and play where ever they wanted.  The bubbles, target practise, and inventions were re-visited over and over, and this come and go as you please approach was perfect, especially for kids of different ages that enjoyed different activites more than others.  

It was a wonderful party, enjoyed by all.  The birthday girl was well celebrated, with a joyful afternoon.  Happy Birthday Miss. Allie!

With an afternoon of creative and fun Beauty and the Beast Party Games and Activities, life is really a party!
