Add Fairy Magic Cards
One of the biggest hits at fairy parties is giving children “magical powers”.
Hide cards between random layers and ask children to act out their new power.
Ideas:
- Rainbow powers
- Animal friendship powers
- Flower-growing powers
- Flying powers
- Wish-granting powers
- Invisible fairy powers
- Sparkle powers
The child keeps their magical power until the next layer is opened.
Turn Pass the Parcel Into a Fairy Treasure Hunt
For older children, you can turn the game into a mini adventure.
Hide clues between layers that eventually lead children to a hidden fairy treasure somewhere in the garden or house.
This works especially well if you’ve created a fairy garden theme.
Our Ultimate Guide to Garden Fairy Party Decorations has lots of styling ideas that work beautifully with this approach.
Fairy Cakes to Match Your Party
If you want the game and party table to tie together, matching your cake to the fairy theme can look amazing.
