Kabobs
-
Set the tone for a creative evening by serving food on a stick. Put their favorite snacks like mini-pizza pockets, cocktail sausages, fried cheese and chicken nuggets on wooden skewers. For dessert, make fruit kabobs out of watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, kumquats and honeydew melon.
Memory Books
-
Create a fun-filled night by piling crafting supplies on a table and letting the girls go wild as they make memory books. Supply them with gel and glitter pens, paint, paint brushes, puff balls, glue, designed paper punches, stickers, scrapbook paper and stencils. Don't forget to take pictures and print them out for the girls to use in their memory books.

Slipper Socks
-
Let the girls make slipper socks. Purchase several white tube socks and puffy fabric paint in preparation for the sleepover. Have the girls trace their feet on cardboard and then cut them out. After shoving the cardboard into each sock, the girls can then begin painting the bottoms. They can draw designs such as squiggly marks or geometric shapes, or just have fun doodling.
Spa Treatments
-
The girls will giggle and groan while making homemade spa treatments out of mayonnaise, eggs, bananas and peaches. They can make a peach facial by removing the pit from a peach and pulverizing the fruit. Combine an egg white with the crushed peach before putting the facial on your face. According to the Birthday Party Ideas 4 Kids website, it should help "tighten your skin." Print out the recipes for the girls to take home as a party favor.
Hula Crawl
-
Give the girls a physical activity to get them moving before they crash for the night. Divide them into two teams and hand each team one hula hoop. Instruct the girls to stand in a line and hold their teammates' hands. When you yell, "Go," the girls will begin passing the hoop from one end to the other, but they cannot let go of each other's hands. They will need to step through and wiggle their bodies until the hoop reaches the opposite end of the line.
