In celebration of Little Miss Sunshine's 5th birthday, we hosted a Fancy Nancy party for her preschool girl friends. If you are not familiar with Fancy Nancy, she is an eccentric and creative young girl who loves everything fancy and fabulous. I appreciate her books as they stimulate creativity, curiosity, and expand vocabulary.
The girls arrived in their fanciest frocks and were ready for fun. A pink basket filled with dress up clothes and accessories waited next to the front door in case someone wanted to be even fancier. We gathered on the rug and using a big book version of the original
Fancy Nancy, I read the story aloud.
Following the story, the girls found a place at the dining table and enjoyed some snacks. I had intended to cut the sandwiches into cute heart and flower shapes, but due to time constraints we had triangles! (I'm learning to let unimportant things go...) Little Miss Sunshine made the centerpiece from coffee filters, water color and pipe cleaners. My favorite decorations were the pom pom flowers that hung from the ceiling and our fancy chandelier. Naturally I had camera issues and didn't get pictures of Little Miss Sunshine in her full fancy decor with boa, gloves, and glittery glasses or the full table set.
