- Decorations for a Tinkerbell party should be whimsical and should center on Tinkerbell's signature colors: yellow, blue and green. You can go to a thrift store or a fabric store and find gauzy fabrics to cut up and swath from the ceiling. Purchase glitter confetti and sprinkle it liberally as "fairy dust" on the tables and around the area where you plan on putting the cake. You can use a Tinkerbell-themed gift bag to weigh down a bunch of balloons in the party colors to make a centerpiece for the food table.
- You can make involve the party guests in decorating Tinkerbell cupcakes with edible glitter--the guests can sprinkle their own "fairy dust" on their cupcakes to eat. You might also try making shooting-star sugar cookies to decorate. You could even try a homemade pizza, using a knife to cut pepperoni into star shapes before you put it into the oven. You'll get a lot of "oohs" and "aahs" when you bring your star pizza to the table. You can serve other foods, but think of fun, fairy-like names for them and find a way to dress them up a little for the party.
- Games keep the kids occupied and excited, so make a themed few games at home to keep the kids involved. Try printing out a large picture of Tinkerbell and using white-out to remove the star from her wand. You can then tell the children that Tinkerbell's wand is broken, and they can "Pin the Star on Tink's Wand" with white construction paper stars to help repair it. Another idea is to let the kids make their own wands from empty paper-towel rolls, construction-paper stars, stickers and glitter. You could also make fairy wings from construction paper for each guest, give each of them a little bag of glitter and play a game of "Tink Tag." One fairy is "it," and when she tags someone, that person must remain still until another fairy comes along and sprinkles fairy dust on her to free her from the spell.
