Well this is kind of random but I thought I would mention it for those of you with little Princesses at home.
My girls are definitely Princesses and really I have no idea where they get it from because I was always a tomboy (and still am really).
I like to indulge them a bit with the glitter and sparkles because this age (preschool and Kindergarten) is just so sweet and so much fun.
So I made them these little fairy dust shakers and I thought I would pass it on for those of you that might be looking for ideas for party favors or for little gifts for your fancy little Miss.
I found some cute little jars from World Market for $.99. These have holes in the top like a salt and pepper shaker and a little lid to keep it sealed up. These are glass but I am not really concerned because I have this stored away in the bathroom for special occasions so the danger of it breaking is low.
I used a very fine glitter (this is a yellow from the Martha Stewart collection) and you can sprinkle a little into your hand and then dust it into their hair.
My sweet little girl fractured her knee a few weeks ago so we have had lots of movie dates recently. I made this one for her when we were planning to watch Pixie Hollow- I think this would be really fun for a little Tinkerbell fan. It would also be a great little thing for the littles if you are planning a Disneyland trip this year.
You just want to go easy on the glitter and sprinkle a little bit in the hair and it will add just a tiny bit of sparkle and fun. It washes right out.
You can see below it is very subtle as long as you are careful putting it on. The girls love to put this on before Church when they are dressed up a little bit.
I didn’t take the time to make a fancy little tag- just wrote on a little gift tag I had tucked away.
And by the way. this is the same glitter I used for our easy DIY glitter pumpkins. This glitter is a little more expensive but it lasts forever and it is so pretty.
These glitter pumpkins are a fun and easy little craft for autumn- you might want to pin it or bookmark the instructions here.
LOVE it! 🙂 My 4 year old will love this!
Rachael, my little Maya is going to be 4 next month. She loved this 😉
Aww! Hope her leg heals quickly!
oh no I said when I saw
you daughters picture with her leg well the one good thing is happened now and not full wing of summer bad news she will have knee issues with changing in weather pressure the rest of her like 🙁
Cheryl,
The Orthopedic Surgeon said it is the most minor fracture possible- it was very hard to see on the Xray. He doesn’t think she will have ongoing issues- we were concerned about that too. He says at this age and with that injury, she should be good as new. I broke 3 bones in my foot in high school playing soccer and I haven’t had any ongoing issues. Hopefully she has the same experience.
SUPER cute! My 3 girlies are totally into all that sparkles. I’ll be pinning this for sure! 🙂
FYI- be very care ful not to get glitter in the eyes. Remember the sparle eyeshadow and glitter used in the 80’s? I knew an eye doctor who sent a kid to college on people who used craft glitter on thier eyes.
Craft glitter often has sharp edges which can scratch or irritate the eye. At least look for body/face glitter or the kind they put on cakes or soap. It tends to be rounder. Plus make sure it is non toxic. 😉
Misty, Thank you for the tip but I can’t think of how it would get in the eyes. Maybe if you sprinkled it all over bangs or something? I am not sure why non toxic glitter would matter either because I just sprinkle it on the crown of the head. There is no chance at all of it being consumed. Is that where the concern is? Eating the glitter?
I made a kid safe one where they could play with it and eat it!
