Invitations:
I typed up the text for the invitations using Calibri, font size 8, and then reduced it 20% on the copier. We backed them with scrapbook paper, and made tiny envelopes. I had lots of little magnifying glasses, so we gave each girl one, with the invite.
Games:
The first thing we did was to decorate tiny little cakes. My little chick had an American Girl magazine that featured tiny treats for girls to make. It was taken from their book called Tiny Treats.
To make the cakes, take 2 oreos or other round cookies. Frost the top of one cookie and stick the second one on top. Then frost the two cookies as if they were a cake. I let the cakes sit overnight, and they soften so that you can cut them!
To decorate the cakes, we used small tubes of icing, (the ones that are made for writing on cakes), and sprinkles.
Next we went on a teeny tiny treasure hunt. The clues were made just like the invitations, and I posted them outside. The group had a magnifying glass to read them. (They were pretty tough to find, because they were so small, which was great fun for girls this age.) At the end of the hunt, the treasure was individual bags filled with tiny treats: a package of Gripz Chips Deluxe cookies,Gripz Cheez-it crackers, tiny nail polish, tiny little dogs with collars, leashes, blankets and chew toys.
The dog idea was from the American Girls Tiny Treasures book.
The last game we played was "How well do you know Little Chick?" We made up a list of questions: favorite color, favorite class at school, etc. and we gave the test to all of the party goers. The girl who got the most right, won the game.
Come back on Monday for part two, where we will talk about food to serve at a Tiny party!
