Give the kids “bug jars or bags” and tell the kids to find as many as they can in a certain amount of time. The prize is keeping the bugs they find!- Play Buzz, Buzz, Sting! (just like Duck, Duck, Goose)

First of all, call each child “Sir______”, Lord, Lady, Knight, or Princess all day long.
Give the girls princess wands and the boys plastic “prince” swords. They can wear tiaras and crowns – even make their own if you want as a fun activity. They can also make family crests if the children are a bit older. You can tell them how the boys would have used theirs in battle as a shield…. and the girls would have used them to mark their houses.
Boys do not mind pink as long as they are included in the games and prizes and cake. It can also be toned down with more jewel tones or silver and gold (light blue pairs well with pink also so you can mix up the plates, etc.). Also see our decoration ideas for princess parties for more ideas!
Serve medieval fare – giant chicken legs and rolls you eat without forks – always a big hit with boys of all ages .
They can also decorate their own goblet, then fill it with candy from an assortment as their party favor.
Be sure to check out our royal birthday invitations for both princesses and princes as well!

What takes so much time and is repeated over and over again daily? Providing food for ourselves and our families. While I enjoy many of the household tasks, menu and meal planning along with the decision making of what to eat has always been my least favorite task.
Ok, I’ll admit it, I hate meal planning. Oh, I’ve tried many plans and systems over the years and nothing has worked …until this easy to use plan. I have been using E-Mealz for awhile now and it not only works well for us, it is saving me money as well as time and aggravation. Read more
