One of the new loves in our house is the Fancy Nancy series of books by Jane O'Connor. For those of you that haven't met Nancy yet, she is a vivacious (that's a fancy word for lively) little girl who believes that more is ALWAYS better when it comes to being fancy. Nancy loves all things sparkly and French and just adores fancy words!I thought a Fancy Nancy party would be so much fun to plan and host. Since Emma has already decided on a Fairy party for her 6th birthday, I needed to come up with an excuse to throw a Fancy party.
Voila (that's a French word for behold - everything sounds so much fancier in French), I had an idea - a Book Club with a few of Emma's friends. My plan is to meet monthly at a member's home, read a children's book and then have a snack and craft/game/activity related to the book.
I polled the moms by email and got a terrific response. Our first meeting will have 10 kids! I think it is a great way to get the girls and moms together on a budget (plus, I get to plan a mini Fancy Nancy get-together!)
More to come on my Fancy Nancy party Book Club Meeting!

I LOVE that idea!!!! :) I think my 3 year old might be a little too young this summer. She just finished her first year of preschool, so she's used to structure, but I think the idea of going to someone's house would be too exciting. She'd probably just want to play with their toys. This would be perfect for next summer!! Great idea. :)
This is a fabulous idea! How fun!
I can't wait to see what you do with this!
Great idea! A book club...clever. :)
I'm working on my 4 soon to be 5 year old niece for her August party. All she wants is a Princess Party. I want her to do something related to a book...like fancy nancy or the very hungry caterpillar, but you know 4 year olds. :)
Looking forward to see how your book club get-together goes.
Fabulous idea! My daughter had a Fancy Nancy party for her 6th birthday and LOVED it! There are so many fun things you can do with it!
What a great idea!
Wondering if you've had the meeting yet. We're planning one with my 7 year-old and her friends in July. Would love some tips from you.
