This past Saturday our library hosted the first ever Fancy Nancy Tea Party. We had over 17 girls (between the ages of 4 and 7). The girls were dressed in their fabulous dresses with fancy boas, and shoes, and hats. I read aloud two Fancy Nancy books to the girls. We also practiced saying some "fancy words."
We also made corsages out of tissue paper and decorated butterfly placemats. Most of the ideas for the party came from
Fancy Nancy Tea Parties by Jane O'Connor. After making our projects - we started our tea party (no tea actually) - just cupcakes and grapes and juice. The girls enjoyed decorating their cupcakes and eating grapes... with toothpicks!!! Everyone had a wonderful time and the parents loved it as well. There was not a Fancy Nancy book left in the library. A perfect activity for the preschool/early elementary grades.
Jane O'Connor is now writing easy to read Fancy Nancy books as well as the numerous picture book in this fabulous series.
