Is your child a Frozen fanatic?  After all these years, I thought my soon-to-be 5 year old would have “let it go.” But alas, Frozen fever is still hot in our household!  We’ve collected countless Elsa, Anna, and Olaf toys not to mention the costumes, castles, and games.  And with our snowflake decals still up from Christmas, we decided to put them all to good use by hosting a fantastic Frozen play date.  We were in the peak of winter freezing our you know whats off so a Frozen posh play date did seem quite timely.  As with all my posh play dates, I did some asking around and got some fabulous small businesses to collaborate in the production.  Amanda’s Parties To Go for instance, supplied us with all the decorative printables.  She had gorgeous items ranging from cupcake toppers, banners, thank you cards, tent cards, to centerpieces and food flags.  And the designs perfectly mixed my love of modern graphics with a clean, blue and white palette.  frozen party, frozen party ideas, kids party ideas, frozen decorations, frozen party decor As a bonus, she also jam-packed her printables with amazing menu ideas with her pre-printed tent cards!  Using some of her suggested ideas, and some of my own entertainment ideas, I’ve collected 15 fantastic fun-filled ideas for your very own fab Frozen event!

  1.  Host a screening or simply have the beloved movie playing in the background turning the TV into themed decor.  What’s a Frozen party without Frozen, the movie after all?
  2. Dress-up! We encouraged our little guests to come dressed in their favorite Frozen gear and also shared our Frozen wardrobe with them so that they could play dress-up and accessorize upon arriving.  The costumes become part of the decor in doing so!frozen party, frozen themed party, frozen party ideas, how to plan a frozen party
  3. Create a crafting corner encouraging kids to make a snowflake, wand, or crown.  Angela’s Party printables included signs for all of the above activities!  We made our first-ever snowflakes together by cutting out white (and also perfectly coordinated blue and white patterned) papers.  The kids were so excited to unfold the snowflake and see their creations come to life! frozen party activity, frozen party ideas, frozen themed party
  4. “Wanna build a snowman??frozen party ideas, frozen party, frozen party entertainment, frozen party crafts Build a real one outside while wearing tiaras if it happens to be a snowy day.  Or do what we did, build a snowman out of marshmallows, chocolate chips, pretzel sticks and candy corn!  The printable set has the perfect sign for this activity.  And I found Ziploc bags with Frozen characters printed on them to send them home with Olaf!
  5. Kiddie Kareoke   Will your child not stop singing, Let It Go?  How did I know… Use their love of singing as entertainment for everyone and host a kiddie kareoke!  frozen games, frozen themed party, how to plan a frozen partyWe had an Elsa blue microphone, so it seemed natural to have a Frozen Kareoke moment but your singalong could simply be belting out tunes along with the Frozen soundtrack  and any old microphone (or wand turned into microphone).
  6. Play Frozen games. We had a matching game, an I Spy game and a Frozen book with character pieces displayed for the kids to pull out and play with to their heart’s content.  If you don’t have any of these, don’t fret!  Simply play a game of freeze tag or play music and have them dance until you make it stop and say, “FREEZE!”frozen party, frozen themed party, frozen party ideas, how to plan a frozen party
  7. Paint your nails Elsa and Anna colors!frozen party, frozen themed party, frozen party ideas, how to plan a frozen party, frozen manicureThink, Elsa, blue, white, glitter, and Anna pink!  The almost-5 – year old kids painted their own nails and I was truly impressed at their level of concentration and skill!  Juliet here creatively decided to paint each nail on her hand a different Frozen-themed color and it turned out great!!
  8. Make snow cakes frozen desserts, frozen themed desserts, frozen themed foods, frozen party ideas, frozen kids party, frozen party ideasWith the printable tent card as our inspiration, we created rice krispy treats.  You could create these with white snowflake sprinkles or white and blue M&Ms for an extra sweet Frozen surprise.
  9. Color Anna, Elsa or the entire cast!  I don’t know any child that doesn’t enjoy coloring so we made sure to include a coloring station at our play date.  Kids got to choose from several character coloring sheets already included in Angela’s printables set and had fun coloring to the soundtrack of Frozen playing in the background. frozen coloring sheet, frozen party ideas, frozen party, frozen party theme
  10. Play catch with a snowball!  ffrozen party, frozen themed party, frozen party ideas, how to plan a frozen party We played catch with my furry, white Christmas ornaments but you can use any white ball or heck a real snowball or a stuffed Frozen character!
  11. Add some Frozen flair!  Whether this means decorating your child’s room, her car/bike/scooter or clubhouse like we did, the kids will have fun using the printables to stick on their favorite characters and sayings.  Juliet helped me pre-party to decorate her clubhouse as well as add signs all around the house for me. frozen party, frozen themed party, frozen party ideas, how to plan a frozen party
  12. Set up a Dessert and Snack station.  Olaf Arms (mini candy sticks or pretzel sticks), Elsa’s ice crystals (blue rock candy), Olaf’s cookies (snowflake cookies), Frozen’s favorite fruit (mixed fruit), snow pudding (blue jello), Anna’s Apples, and Kristoff’s candies are what we featured.  frozen party desserts, frozen party ideas, frozen kids party theme, how to throw a frozen partyAnd it was easy, given Angela’s Parties To Go already labeled and included printables for all these items.frozen themed party menu, frozen themed desserts, frozen party ideas
  13. Food and beverage To warm us up on this very Frozen Friday, I made some chili and garlic bread and offered melted snow (water bottles and seltzer waters covered in the party labels), along with a hot cocoa bar.frozen party ideas, frozen party food, frozen party menu, frozen kids party frozen party decor, frozen party printables, frozen party theme SP Sweet Creations sent us the tableware (see the paper plates, straws, and paper cups)  It was the perfect addition to this pastel party!frozen party ideas, frozen party theme, how to throw a frozen kids party, frozen dinnerware, frozen tableware
  14. Toys galore! girls party themes, frozen party ideas, frozen party food, frozen party menu, frozen kids partyIt’s all about the toys at this age.  Pulling out toys for the kids under one theme, helps everyone to focus and helps us mommies to keep some semblance of order around the house.  I don’t know about you but I manage the overflowing toys and prevent boredom by rotating (i.e. hiding and pulling out) toys.  One day we’ll have a Play-doh play date, another day it might be a Barbie play date, or yet another it might be a Shopkins party. Yes, I’ve planned and hosted playdates with all those themes…check out the links!  This way, all the toys don’t get mixed, scattered and lost.  The kids can focus and get excited for the toy theme of the day.
  15. Snow bubble and Elsa Soap favors  Custom-made, Frozen-themed bubbles courtesy of SP Sweet Creations were a big hit amongst these little ones. https://www.etsy.com/listing/533932537/frozen-party-frozen-birthday-frozen They had fun trying to make the biggest bubbles possible and chased each other around with the bubble wands.  We gave one away to each playmate along with stickers, snowflake hair elastics and adorable glitter soaps in Elsa colors made by TLC for U.frozen favor ideas, https://www.etsy.com/listing/585782977/frozen-soapfrozen-party-favorice?ref=shop_home_active_9  These customized soaps can come with glitter and the Elsa character or with any small toy hidden inside!  The kids had a laugh attack playing with the soap in the shower…while still in their Elsa dresses!! https://www.etsy.com/listing/585782977/frozen-soapfrozen-party-favorice?ref=shop_home_active_9SO much Frozen fun!  What is your favorite idea?  And do you know any Frozen fans that would like this?

Getting Pampered at Glitter And Glam – a Fab Kid’s Review

My minifashionista is no stranger to beauty treatments.  She has enjoyed at-home manicures and loves playing with her pretend make-up and beauty salon sets.  She has even experienced her first spa treatment here in New York City (click here for our review on Milk N Cookies Kids Spa).  She therefore was more than happy to check out Glitter And Glam, an uber-girly, over-the-top kids’ salon in Paramus, NJ.  And she was so excited to have a mommy and me outing there to celebrate her 4.5 year old birthday.  Yes, we’ve started celebrating the half birthdays now..

This spa, located in the Paramus Park Mall had a huge retail floor space, something that would have cost a fortune in Manhattan.  And it was delightfully filled with a glamour girl’s favorite things.  Pink!  Tiaras! Boas!  Dresses!  What’s that?? A runway??! Our hearts pumped a little harder as we walked into this girly fantasyland.

Look at that decor!  Don’t you want to move right in?  I was really impressed.  They went all out and put so much care into making the place fabulous.  And prices were reasonable considering the beautiful backdrop, the special care needed for kids (can you imagine how many smudges they have to fix?) and all the special treats.  Mini-manis start at $24.95 and includes a “lavish kandy lotion hand massage”, nail polish, and gemstone ring.  The mani-pedi combo includes the chance to sit on the princess throne wearing pink robe and slippers, lavish kandy lotion foot and hand massage, glitter tattoo, nail polish, and mini-mani-pedi ($39.95).

She even got to pick out her own gems for her nails!  Um..where can I find this kind of diamond-encrusted manicure for myself? (spa services are only available for the kids here unfortunately)  I was supremely jealous.

The spa’s website says they aim to instill confidence in all their kiddie clients but they did so much more than this.  They gave her the royal treatment, making my little one feel like a princess!  She had so much sweet attention focused on her, received tons of compliments throughout the day and got truly pampered in this glitzy setting!

I can’t stress enough how amazing the stylists were.  They truly seemed to love children.  And this was apparent in how they took the time to get to know each child by asking questions about their favorite hobbies, princess, and colors.  I never got the feeling that they were just there for a paycheck but rather that they enjoyed and took pride in their work.

Juliet also got to try the facial (see first picture in the post above), got to pick out and have a full face of make-up applied and get her hair professionally styled.  I was dying from cuteness overload and could NOT stop smiling.  She looked like a little doll and as I looked around, it seemed all the moms were having just as grand of a time living vicariously through their mini-mes.  I seriously had just as much fun watching her get all glammed up as she did getting glam!

She and I both loved the finished product and celebrated with a twirl or two (or three) on the runway.

Thank you so much, Glitter and Glam for inviting us in!  We will have to make a special effort to come back for some more pampering.  I’m already party planning and scheming for ways to get my girl squad out there for a future birthday party.  Maybe when Juliet and her friends outgrow car seats we’ll have to rent a party bus to transport her NYC friends out there cuz I can’t think of a better place to host a glamorous spa-themed party!
