1. Princess-Themed Crown

Materials Needed:

• Free princess coloring pages
• Scissors
• Glue or tape
• Glitter or sequins
• Colored pencils or markers
• A strip of cardboard

Steps:

1. Have your child color a princess page of their choice. Lisa, my 11-year-old daughter, loves picking the ones with big, flowy dresses because, as she says, “It feels magical!”
2. Cut out the princess or any design your child loves. Make sure to supervise younger kids with scissors to ensure safety.
3. Attach the colored page to a strip of cardboard measured to fit around your child’s head. You can also let your kids decorate the cardboard with markers or stickers before attaching the princess.
4. Decorate the crown with glitter, sequins, or anything sparkly. Lisa’s favorite addition is glittery pink stars, while Mike, my 6-year-old, prefers adding green shapes because green is his favorite color.
5. Secure the ends of the cardboard with glue or tape. Once the crown is complete, encourage your child to pretend they are royalty—this activity is perfect for imaginative play.

Genius Hack: Add a small loop of elastic to make the crown adjustable for different-sized heads. This also makes it more comfortable to wear during playtime.

Last week, Lisa and I made these crowns for her and her friends during a playdate. The girls had so much fun pretending to be princesses from their favorite stories, and Lisa even organized a “royal tea party” using her toy tea set. Seeing her creativity and joy made my day.

2. Princess-Themed Storybook

Materials Needed:

• Printed princess coloring pages
• Blank notebook or stapled paper
• Markers and crayons
• Stickers (optional)

Steps:

1. Use the coloring pages as illustrations for your child’s story. Before starting, talk to your kids about what kind of story they want to create. It could be about a brave princess, a magical kingdom, or even a friendly dragon.
2. Help your child write a short story about their princess adventures. Lisa once wrote a story about a princess who saved her kingdom from a dragon—it was so creative and empowering for her.
3. Paste or staple colored princess pages to the notebook as illustrations. Let your kids choose picture placement to match the story.
4. Adding stickers or decorations makes it more fun. It personalizes the book and makes it a keepsake.

Safety Tip: Use child-safe glue when sticking pages to avoid messy hands or accidents.

Helpful Idea: After completing the storybook, have a reading session where your child can share their story with the family. Mike loved listening to Lisa’s story, and it inspired him to create his own about a superhero princess and her pet dinosaur.

3. Princess Puppet Show

Materials Needed:

• Princess coloring pages
• Wooden sticks (like popsicle sticks)
• Tape or glue
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Color the princess pages. Mike loves using red for their capes—he says it makes them look royal!
2. Cut out the princesses carefully, ensuring the edges are smooth for a polished look.
3. To make a puppet, tape or glue each princess to a popsicle stick. If you want your child to be really creative, add extra decorations like small pieces of fabric for dresses.
4. Use a cardboard box to create a stage. Cut a window into the box and decorate it with curtains or paint for a theatrical effect.
5. Let the kids put on a show. Encourage them to come up with a storyline and dialogue for the characters. Lisa once staged a play about a princess rescuing her pet unicorn, and it had us all laughing and cheering.

Fun Tip: Add a curtain to the stage by draping an old scarf over the box. It makes the puppet show feel more real and adds to the fun.

4. Princess-Themed Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• Princess coloring pages
• Picture frames
• Glitter pens
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Color and decorate the pages with glitter pens or small gems. Encourage your kids to use their favorite colors. Lisa loves using pink and purple, while Mike adds little red hearts.
2. Trim the edges to fit into a picture frame. You can find inexpensive frames at craft stores or reuse old ones.
3. Frame the pages and hang them in your child’s room. This is a great way to showcase their artwork and boost their confidence. Lisa’s favorite pink princess frame hangs right above her desk and inspires her every day.

Helpful Idea: Rotate the artwork every few weeks to keep things fresh. This also keeps your kids motivated to create more masterpieces.

Emily, my wife, loves seeing the kids’ art displayed around the house. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate their creativity as a family.

5. Princess Party Invitations

Materials Needed:

• Colored princess pages
• Cardstock

3. Write the party details inside using colorful markers. Encourage your child to add doodles or small drawings to make each invitation unique.

Safety Tip: Make sure scissors are kid-friendly and always supervise younger children.

Helpful Idea: Include a small blank space where the recipient can color their own section of the invitation. It’s a fun way to get everyone excited for the party.

3. Laminate the bookmarks with laminating sheets or clear tape. This step is great for making the bookmarks spill-proof.
4. Punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon through it. Choose ribbons that match the colors used in the bookmark.

Genius Hack: Personalize bookmarks with your child’s name for school use. Lisa’s bookmarks are always a hit with her classmates, and they make great small gifts.

1. Color and print two of each princess picture. Make the game look better by using colors that are bright and stand out from each other.
2. Cut out the designs and glue them onto cardstock squares. Make sure each square is the same size.
3. To play a memory-matching game, mix up the cards and lay them out face down. This activity is a great way to improve your memory and ability to concentrate.
