Fairy Parties

Then you need Fairy Poppilina…!

I’ve experienced my share of party entertainers, you do as the parent of small children whose social calendar is invariably peppered with invitations to variously themed shindigs. From superheroes to TV show characters, clowns and reptile handlers, we’ve seen a few!

This year, Denny requested a fairy party and with an impressive guest list of 7yo girls to entertain I decided it was time to pull out the big guns and hire a professional. Enter FAIRY POPPILINA or Poppy Stoker to members of the adult world. She is an entertainer like no other, beginning her experience with you from first contact. She directed us to the beautiful invitations available to download from her website which we printed out to distribute.

I have never known anyone to stay in character for the entirety of my interactions with them.   The party attendees arrived, filled with anticipation at the fairy’s impending arrival.

What an arrival it was! The sound of music could be heard in our driveway and opening the door there was Fairy Poppilina in all her brightly coloured fabulousness. She had Denny and her friends, who were all squeezed into the doorway agog, in fits of giggles from the start. Not two minutes after entering the house, she was already upside down, treating the girls to one of her famous headstands.

Her first port of call, headstand aside, was a theatrical bout of storytelling. The children looked on in awe as Fairy Poppilina donned puppets and other props to bring stories to life. Some riotous dancing followed, music supplied by none other than Fairy Poppilina herself. All the girls were later allocated their own Fairy names, from Denny Dandelion to Tulip Twinkletoes!

Then it was onto pass the parcel. But this is not your ordinary pass the parcel. Sitting in a circle the girls were instructed to pass a box between them and when the music stopped, Fairy Poppilina would ask a question. Questions like, “would you rather ride to school on the back of an elephant or a motorcycle?” and “would you rather eat hot dogs or pizza for the rest of your life?” Once the girls had answered their question they were permitted to reach into the shimmery mass of sparkly bits in the box and retrieve a bubble ring (as in a ring with bubble mixture inside and its very own wand to blow them with!)

From quizzing to colouring, FP comes prepared with textas and a craft activity, which the attendees relished!  The wealth of activities and ideas Fairy Poppilina brings with her on the day is truly incredible, leaving no moment unfilled, or child disinterested. She instinctively knows when a change of pace is required, whether to liven the tempo up or calm things down, making the party as a whole flow together beautifully.

The girls took a moment to sample some of the food laid out for them.

 Then it was time for cake with Fairy Poppilina presiding! Because what is a birthday wish without a fairy there to make it come true?!

Keeping the 17-some kids in attendance entertained for two hours (though her typical timeframe is 90 minutes), the magnificent Fairy Poppilina brought my 7yo daughter’s dreams to life and filled her party with boundless energy, fun, games and so much more. All I had to do was serve the food and drink and direct people to the toilet! I put the husband on sparkle clean up duty later on. I didn’t provide lolly bags for the party but with all the gorgeous gifts Fairy Poppilina bestows on the party guests, there is no need.

So, if you’re planning a party with a fairy theme, trust me when I say it won’t be complete without Fairy Poppilina there to make the day!
