Anabelle, Anabelle.. Let Down your Hair!!

By

While we were plan­ning my daugh­ter’s 4th birth­day, the Dis­ney Tan­gled movie was released on DVD and she decid­ed she also want­ed a Rapun­zel par­ty! Since we were already in the midst of Nev­er­land prepa­ra­tions, we decid­ed to incor­po­rate this theme into her school cel­e­bra­tion with ele­ments from the movie, such as a pur­ple col­or scheme, her love of art, the use of fry­ing pans and of course, her looooooooong hair!

For the treats, I attempt­ed to attach cut sug­ar cones to the top of marsh­mal­lows on sticks to resem­ble Rapun­zel’s tow­er, but once I dipped them in choco­late, they were a lit­tle too heavy! To avoid any dis­as­ters, I made one for the birth­day girl and attached a long, yel­low marsh­mal­low to rep­re­sent her hair. All her friends received marsh­mal­lows dipped in pur­ple choco­late and tied with yel­low yarn, all served in a fry­ing pan.

When stu­dents cel­e­brate their birth­days at her school, they are asked to bring in a time­line of pho­tos to share with the rest of the class. To con­tin­ue the theme, I found instruc­tions on Dis­ney’s Fam­i­ly Fun site to make a hair clip orga­niz­er out of yarn and once made, attached pho­tos to the long braid­ed locks. It was real­ly fun for her to car­ry it around and show her friends and she can now uti­lize it to store her bows and clips, as it was orig­i­nal­ly intended!


As favors, I found real­ly cute fry­ing pans at the Dol­lar Tree in the toy sec­tion and added some paints and a paint brush. I uti­lized a free clip art graph­ic and added a note thank­ing her friends for “let­ting {their} hair down” and cel­e­brat­ing with us! Since I still had some yel­low yarn, I was inspired by the adorable invi­ta­tion from Bet­ti­jo at Super Mom Moments and recruit­ed my mom to help me make small­er braids and attach them with a pur­ple rib­bon. I also includ­ed some col­or­ing pages from Dis­ney’s family.com that I print­ed on card­stock on which the kids could paint.


The birth­day girl had a fab­u­lous time get­ting tan­gled up in all the fun with her class­mates! I can’t believe my lit­tle girl has gone from this wide-eyed baby…
…to this amaz­ing FOUR year old!
As I have said before, I can­not believe how quick­ly time is pass­ing and I just love to com­mem­o­rate each and every one of her birth­days in a spe­cial way! I can’t wait to take you all to Nev­er Nev­er Land and share all the details of the fes­tiv­i­ties! Stay tuned…

Merci Beaucoup!
