MakingMamaMagic: Slumber Party Family Fun

After watching Sofia the First- Perfect Slumber Party,

Tamlyn has been obsessed with the idea of having a Slumber Party of her own!
So Activity Number one on her Birthday Bucket List is to have a Slumber Party

A bunch of 4 and 5 year olds sleeping over at my house?

No... I don't think so!!

We have a Family Fun Night every month so this month,

I figured we could do a Slumber Party Fun Night!!

My only problem was ensuring that the Slumber Party wasn't too girly!

After searching through Pinterest for a while, I finally settled on a few not-too-girly Slumber Party Activities.

Our first activity was designing eye-masks.

Supplies : craft foam, ribbon, stickers and an eye-mask(to use as a template)

First we placed the eye-mask onto the craft foam and traced around it.

I cut out the eye-masks and poked little holes onto either side

After threading through the ribbon and securing it with a knot,

I handed over the masks to be decorated.

The Butterballs used self adhesive rhinestones to decorate the eye-masks

Guess which one is Tamlyn's!

After the Butterballs helped me set up the mattresses in their reading nook,

we played a Sumo Wrestling Game.
(Not girly at all!)

Both Butterballs pulled on one of my T-shirts and stuffed a pillow under it.

They had a blast!!!

Check out their intimidating faces...:D

After dinner, I set up a snack bar.

Popcorn with various toppings

Crispy Fairy Bread - Rice cakes dipped in melted white chocolate and covered in sprinkles...Yum!

I got this idea from here

We had creamy, strawberry steamers which were so easy to make

and tasted delicious!

Strawberry Steamers
Heat a liter of milk in the microwave till almost at boiling point.
Add strawberry syrup and mix with a milk-frother.
Pour into glasses, and top with whipped cream and sprinkles.
