Party Props
Home Made Keep kids enchanted (well, for 30 minutes) with a craft that’ll spark their imagination. The Fairy House Color-In 3D Wood Puzzle by Creatology comes with all they’ll need to deck out a pad fit for a sprite, including paint, brush, glitter, and fairies—just supply glue. $10; michaels.com
Flying Colors Hand out Fairy Wings to get each guest into the spirit and wear home (and hey, they’ll probably wear them every day for the next month). $27 for six; lolasaturdays.com
Inflate the whimsical mood with this giant Toadstool Mushroom Shaped Balloon. Tape one to a wall or cluster a few in a bare corner. And when the kids are hopped up on sugar, grab it to expend some of that energy with a rowdy game of “Keep up the balloon.” $10; ellieandpiper.com

These adorable tea sandwiches come together like magic. A large flower cookie cutter can shape the whole sandwich, then a small round cookie cutter cuts a circle in the top slice to reveal a pop of color. You can layer deli turkey under American or cheddar cheese for orange, cream cheese under cucumber slices for green, and Swiss cheese under ham for pink; or simply spread on some raspberry jam for red.
