Activity Kit - Princess in Black
and the PERFECT PRINCESS PARTY
Event Kit
She wears glass slippers.
She sleeps in a tower.
She rides a unicorn.
She is the perfect princess.
And for a monster-fighting heroine,
that is the perfect disguise.
Princess Magnolia is . . .
the Princess in Black
This is a girl who enjoys wearing frilly pink dresses
and glass slippers and having tea parties. And this is
also a girl who enjoys wearing black combat boots and
galloping on horses and battling huge monsters. She’s
a ninja! She makes beasts behave! She’s unstoppable.
And in The Princess in Black and the Perfect Princess
Party, she’s also the birthday girl. A dozen princess
guests in sparkly attire, a series of party games, and
some very inconvenient monster alarms make for a
birthday Princess Magnolia will never forget.

Event Ideas
It is Princess Magnolia’s birthday, and everything must be perfect!
Here are some ideas for hosting your own perfect princess party.
Party Decorations
Princess Magnolia knows that pink balloons make a princess party perfect. Blow up a bunch of pink
balloons or drape pink and black paper streamers to create a festive party atmosphere in your home,
store, or library.
Princess Name Tags
Give labels to all your guests and ask them to write down their names with markers, crayons, or colored
pencils. Provide art supplies like glitter and gems so everyone can dress up their name tags with a little
bit of sparkle.
Make Your Own Tiara
Make enough copies of the enclosed template for everyone. Ask your guests to
decorate their tiaras with markers, crayons, colored pencils, and other art supplies.
Once the tiaras are looking festive and fancy, provide additional paper or oak-tag
strips to complete the tiara headband, then tape the ends of the headband together
so they form a loop that fits around the head.
Glitter-Stone Ring
Princess Magnolia wears a glitter-stone ring, which is secretly a monster
alarm. Brring! Brring! Whenever the monster alarm goes off, she has to
sneak away from her party guests to keep the goats from being eaten. Supply
enough Ring Pops so that each princess party guest can have a glitter-stone
ring. You never know when the next monster attack will come!
Superhero Identities
Princess Magnolia may seem like a prim and perfect princess, but she’s secretly
the Princess in Black. And fighting monsters is the perfect job for the Princess
in Black. As a group, create your own superhero identities. What would your
superhero name be? What would your superhero power be? What would your
disguise look like? Do you have a nemesis? A faithful sidekick? After discussing,
have your guests draw their superhero selves on the enclosed page.
Princess Battle Moves
When the Princess in Black wages battle against the
monsters, she has a few favorite go-to moves: Sparkle Slam!
Tiara Trip! Twinkle Twinkle Little SMASH! As a group, talk
about some new battle moves for the Princess in Black to try.
