Slumber party ideas for preschool aged girls?

Question

My daughter is having her first slumber party, and I need ideas on keeping a group of 4 yr olds entertained, without pulling my hair out, lol. PLEASE HELP!!

I should have mentioned these kids aren't just kids from school they are actually family friends who have been over here millions of times, and there are only 3 total, lol. So I know its not going to be a problem of them away from home, just not sure what to do with 3 seperate kids, with 3 seperate personalities, that they can all enjoy at once.

Answer 1

Have a dance party where the girls get to pick out there own crazy outfits and "borrow" your jewelry... even their own songs Create a "stage" with a bed sheet and then give them ALL ribbons for dancing.
Then make a craft with them all- star wands and princess crowns! Why? Because they are all stars and dance so magically- they are ALL princess'! Complete the night with star shaped sugar cookies that they can each decorate with icing and have as a snack. At night, take them out for a backyard walk with flashlights in hand to see the stars- point out the little or big dipper to them- have them point out a star and "name it." When you come back in sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and see if they can then make new words to that song using the same rhythm- you can encourage them to use "silly" lyrics. Before you know- it's "nite nite" time for your twinkling stars!

Answer 2

You could do a spa/salon theme. Paint fingernails and toenails. Do each others makeup and hair. Have the girls arrive in their pajamas. You don't have to go all out with decorations but a colorful table cloth and some streamers may be cute. Since it is for her birthday, you can add some balloons too. If you plan on serving dinner, you can set up a pizza bar and have them make their own pizza's. Are you planning on having them stay the night or will the party only be for a few hours? You could put on some music and have them dance (this will also tire them out for bed). When they wake up in the morning have a breakfast planned- maybe let the birtgday girl choose. Then send them home with a cute nail polish or bonnebelle lip smackers (for favors). I would have them come over around 6:00-6:30pm and have the parents pick them up around 9ish.???

Answer 3

you're in luck, i'm a pre-school teacher. putting on a movie is always the best ideas. they may not all watch it but half will. thw half that dont you can put out some snacks, an arts a craft activitie, do make up. as long as there is always something for them to do it will go by pretty smoothly. also, if u have the cash pay somebody to help wtach the kids. pay 10 dollers an hour for 4 or 5 hours. a young college or high schoool student that you would know maybe. goodluck.

Answer 4

Get some hairbands the onces that are used to pull bangs away from the face that don't go completely around the head. Get construction paper and have them cut out crown shapes. If they are too young to use the siccors have them cut out for them. Let the girls decorate them with glitter, gems etc (you can get these at a craft store. This way the make their own princess crowns. Rent a cinderalla movie for the night. They can wear their crowns while watching the movie. Have a princess cake.
Have fun!

Answer 5

Let them rent a video or two.. pop some pop corn.. give them some play makeup so they can give each other some cute little makeovers and facials. Put on a little talent show or something.. tell each of the girls to display some type of song, dance, or whatever. You can have them do a dance contest, tell stories.. etc.... After they watch the movie they'll get tired and fall asleep.
No worries.. it will be a nice party.

Answer 6

Too young for kids to sleep away from home/parents. Chances are you will be calling Moms and Dads to come get a few in the wee hours of the night....just my opinion though.

Games, movies, popcorn, dress up, a craft, fun bedtime stories...for the ones who are not homesick..they will have a lot of fun!! Good luck!!!

Answer 7

Play lots of games. Rent the new cartoons that are out and have pizza. Paint finger nails and play dress up. Going into this party have a set routine. It will go so much smoother with a set bedtime maybe with a story and then lights out!

Answer 8

i definately would not say 4 yr.olds are ready for a sleepover. anyways,here goes..... decorate sugar cookies,lots of colored frosting, lots of sprinkles. watercolers on cut out shapes from paper towels, pizza party for dinner have them add their own toppings,they could play with shaving cream and rub it all over a table,(preschoolers love that) go to michaels or any craft sore and get some foam tiaras and have them decorate them...thats all i can think of right now!have fun and be prepared to call some parents in the middle of the night to get their kids! (but hopefully not!)

Answer 9

First off ... bless your heart for doing this.

My daughter had a sleep over (just 1 girl) and she is 5.
We played dress up and did make overs. I painted their nails did their hair. We made homemade pizza which the girls loved.
I told her friends mom to have her bring a movie/cartoon and my daughter picked out her own and they had "movie time"
They thought it was so fun laying on their sleeping bags watching movies.

Little girls at this age its so easy to find fun lil things to do. Anything with make up and dress up would be a big hit.

Hope luck and just have ..............FUN!!!!

Treasure hunts and lots of games.No prizes because I know someone who had this type of party.Her parties were always based on competitions when parties are meant to be fun and all the children are supposed to enjoy themselves.Good luck.
