When I was a little girl I had a love of all things that sparkled. My favorite thing was a metallic gold purse. I carried it everywhere with me. It went especially well with my short hair (due to the crazy curls, my mother decided for her sanity to keep it short) and overalls (I had a tendency to wiggle out of jeans, pants, or anything that didn't have straps to keep me in.) When I was older, I fell in love with costumes, particularly prom dresses. While I only spent my allotted two years at the dance itself, I had at least ten dresses, some covered in beads, some in animal prints, all of them beautiful to me. When I had a bad day I would put on one of my dresses and sulk in my room, dreaming of being a princess that was sheltered from the awful things that came with being a "commoner."
As I was thinking of some different themes for an upcoming event I came across Cakie's blog and saw these adorable crowns:
While sewing may not be a project that can be done post-storytelling, I think this could be easily adapted with construction paper, glue and felt pieces. Check out all of the crowns she made
here.I'm still in search of other Royal Ideas to add to my Barefoot Book of Princesses event, any suggestions? Checkout the book if you get at second at my marketplace:
yay for cakies!!
