You did not specify whether you were looking for free items or to purchase items.

On yahoo auctions I have several items that are Fairy themed and are great learning items for kids.

Answer 5

My 5 year old daughter just had a "princess tea party" birthday - her godmother bought these cardboard, swords (for boys) and wands (for the girls) - they were white, and they colored them & glued "jewels", lace, and ribbons on them for a great activity.  She bought them at Oriental Trading Company (address:  http://www.orientaltrading.com/ )

Answer 7

Get out paints and fun stuff that kids like to play with. Sure it's a little messy, but hey it's fun! plus I have a four year old sister, and we buy her eatable paint in case she is a little hungry for a snack jk but it is safer. Also you should read something like cindrella or Rumpeltstilskin or however it's spelled. Let the kids do finger painting, but be sure to get some smocks and easles! Also split them up in groups so you don't need as many easles.
