Royal Fun: Princess Themed Activities Perfect for a Queen (or King)

Does your little one love all things princess? Spark their imagination and create a day of royal fun with these princess-themed activities, games, and a charming craft that is guaranteed to provide hours of delightful fun.

Story Time Fit for Royalty:

Start your royal day with a captivating princess story. Whether it’s a classic fairytale or a modern princess adventure, reading together is a great way to set the mood. Some popular choices include “Cinderella,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The Princess and the Pea,” or any book from the “Fancy Nancy” series. But of course, my absolute favorite is the “Princess Amishta” series. After the story, discuss the characters, plot, and what makes a good princess.

Games and Activities:

• Royal Treasure Hunt: Hide “jewels” (plastic gems, colorful beads, or even painted rocks) around the room or backyard. Create clues related to the princess story you read or other princess-themed riddles. Let your little royals embark on a treasure hunt to find the hidden gems.
• Princess Dress-Up: Encourage imaginative play with a princess dress-up station. Gather old dresses, scarves, tiaras, and jewelry. Let their imaginations run wild as they transform into their favorite princesses.
• “Pin the Crown on the Princess”: A fun twist on a classic party game. Print out a large picture of a princess (or have fun drawing your own!) and have the children try to pin the crown in the correct spot while blindfolded.
• Royal Ball: Put on some music and let the little princesses (and princes!) twirl and dance at their very own royal ball. You can even teach them some simple ballroom dance steps.
• Princess Obstacle Course: Create a simple obstacle course using pillows, blankets, chairs, and toys. Have the children navigate the course like a brave princess on a quest.
• Princess Coloring Pages: Add a touch of magic to your day! Download these free princess-themed coloring pages here and grab your crayons, colored pencils, or markers for some colorful, royal fun.
