TINKERBELL PARTY GAMES & ACTIVITIES
The party begins...
Upon arrival, adorn each guest with Tink's magic dust.
Make the magic fairy dust before the party by mixing very fine polyester glitter and aloe-vera gel. Apply a small amount to the girls cheeks. 

Tinkerbell 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.

Stick the Star on Tinker Bell's Wand
"Oh-No", Tink'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.
Use double stick tape on one side of the stars and write the players 
names on the other side. Use a satin sash to blindfold the players, 
one at a time. Spin her gently three times and "steer" her in 
the correct direction to the game board. The player will try to stick the star near the tip of the wand. The players who's star is nearest ...wins!
TIP: Young players may not want to be blindfolded and they can just close their eyes.

"Tink" Takes the Lead
You will need one pair of Tinkerbell Fairy wings for this game.
this is really just a game of "Follow the Leader". One player wears the
wings while the rest of the players follow her every action in a single
file line. Players will take turns leading as Tinkerbell.

Make a Fairy Wand 
Use small dowel pieces, craft foam, glitter glue, very thin ribbon 
and a hot glue gun (ADULT ONLY).

Before the party, paint all of the dowel pieces with silver spray paint 
and cut the craft foam stars. You may be able to find pre-cut stars at your craft store. At party time the girls will decorate the stars with glitter glue. Attach the stars to the wands with the hot glue gun. 
Then then the girls, with help can tie pieces of ribbon to their wands 
for extra ornamentation.

Tinkerbell Fairy Craft
This is best for parties of 6 children or smaller.

You'll need:
White coffee filter, green food coloring, wooden craft clothes pins, 
fine tipped craft pens, yellow yarn, medicine dropper.
Before the party, paint the clothes pins with white spray paint. 
Flatten the coffee filters to make circles. 
Cover the work area. 
Mix the green food color with water in a few bowls.
The children will use the medicine dropper to drop green 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 yellow 
yarn and glue it to the top of the clothespin (Tink's Hair). 
Use the craft pens to make faces on the head of the clothes pin. 
Then "scrunch-up" the dry green coffee filter and insert it in the 
clothespin to make Tinker Bell's Wings.
To make this craft even easier...paint the clothes pins green before 
the party and use the white coffee filters with out the green food color.
This will make the body green and the wing's white.
Tips: 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 Tinkerbell Birthday Cupcakes
Add food coloring to white cake batter making light green or pink cupcakes.
Frost with white frosting. Sprinkle "Pixie Dust" (colored sugar) on each cupcake and insert a Tinker Bell cupcake pick into each one.
